Okay, so what's the best way to do that?

I have EFI firmware from https://github.com/pftf/RPi4 in /boot/efi, and
the /boot/dtb symlink removed. The bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb file in
/boot/efi is from the RPi4_UEFI_Firmware_v1.32.zip file. I have a
config.txt in /boot/efi that references overlays in /boot/efi/overlays
from RPM bcm283x-overlays (like pps-gpio)..

I'm not quite sure how I need to fit all this together.
