Last I knew, the official EDK2 had no RPi5 support, not even for
the first variant (across the RAM sizes). The rpi5-uefi effort
failed to get sufficient materials upstreamed to the official
EDK2.

The rpi5-uefi effort never got to the point of supporting newer
RPi5 variants.

Thus, as far as I know, sysutils/edk2 does not support any RPi5
variants, much less the later variants that rpi5-uefi does not
support.
