    1616Geist brought up that older ARM SoC's may have forked u-boot trees pre-EFI support as a counter point, however i'm not sure we should waste time trying to support arm boards which never bothered to upstream their u-boot support. (Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone, LibreComputer, Orange Pi, Tinker Board, all have upstream u-boot support for context and can start our EFI bootloader)
