Interestingly, the string 'DeployedMode' appears zero times in the
EDK2 codebase, so I wonder if it makes any sense to merge this now.
The string 'AuditMode' does appear once, but in a comment

In any case, the logic is not entirely correct either: apologies if it
was me who caused any confusion here, but it seems DeployedMode could
legally be 0 or 1 while secure boot is in fact enabled. It is actually
AuditMode that should be taken into account here, i.e., if AuditMode
== 1, the firmware ignores invalid or missing signatures. If
SecureBoot == 0x1, SetupMode == 0x0 and AuditMode == 0x0 (or
non-existent), signature verification is performed regardless of the
value (or existence) of DeployedMode.

So I propose to respin this patch to treat AuditMode == 0x1 as 'secure
boot disabled', and ignore if it is missing.
