Exactly. Keep in mind that RISC-V is looking into EBBR as well, so this is far from an 'Arm thing'. Moreover, the efi stub side of the kernel for risc-v, will only load an initrd using the EFI_LOAD_FILE2 protocol we added support for. So right now the only way to properly boot a RISC-V with EFI is through the manager.
I had heard that RISC-V was just going to use UEFI (and not U-Boot), but perhaps that is not correct. So far I have not really done anything with RISC-V so am not familiar with it.
My understanding is the intention is to just use UEFI of which U-Boot has a UEFI implementation.
