Bug Description
shim ignores any optional data passed that does not contain a space or nul character.
bad fallback csv entry:
shimx64.efi,Ubuntu with kernel 5.4.0-1072-
good csv, with additional space:
shimx64.efi,Ubuntu with kernel 5.4.0-1072-

given how cryptic optional data parsing in shim, I am not surprised.
last time I tried to figure out how to make it work, I failed.
so somewhat this sounds right that a space helps.
