Pseudocode for UEFI/BIOS firmwares:
If the DHCP server doesn't offer a boot filename,
and a proxyDHCP server is available,
then use the boot filename from the proxyDHCP offer,
and set TFTP=proxyDHCP.

Pseudocode for shim:
If UEFI reports that it used proxyDHCP, then use that one for the TFTP server.
No decision to be done here; the decision was already done by UEFI in the previous step.
Also, note that there's no "boot filename" involved; that too, was done by UEFI in the previous step.
It's just about deciding where the TFTP server is.
