In https://git.kernel.org/linus/e346bebbd36b1576a3335331fed61bb48c6d8823 the configuration option got removed. Full commit message: efi: libstub: Always enable initrd command line loader and bump version In preparation for setting a cross-architecture baseline for EFI boot support, remove the Kconfig option that permits the command line initrd loader to be disabled. Also, bump the minor version so that any image built with the new version can be identified as supporting this.
