Subject: [PATCH] ofdisk: Enhance canonical path handling for bootpath

This commit addresses an issue where redundant canonical path
translation is performed on the bootpath, potentially leading to
incorrect results and subsequent boot failures, particularly in cases
where firmware translations are inconsistent.

To mitigate this, the commit introduces a check to determine if the
bootpath is already in canonical form, avoiding unnecessary translation.
Additionally, improvements have been made to enhance the resilience of
device iteration, enhancing compatibility with cross-device booting
scenarios and addressing potential issues related to firmware-based
canonical path retrieval.

These changes aim to improve the reliability and stability of the boot
process.
