Dear maintainers,
"Pull request for UEFI sub-system for efi-2020-01-rc4" disables the UEFI sub-system for all boards except ARMv8, ARMv7, ARM11. This is necessary as UEFI requires support for unaligned access. For ARM11 a function is provided to switch unaligned access support on.
Tom suggested to disable UEFI by default on ARM11 to reduce the size of the U-Boot binary. This would concern the following boards:
evb-ast2500_defconfig flea3_defconfig integratorcp_cm1136_defconfig mx31pdk_defconfig mx35pdk_defconfig rpi_0_w_defconfig rpi_defconfig woodburn_defconfig woodburn_sd_defconfig
At least the Raspberry boards should have no problem with UEFI enabled.
Do you see a necessity to use EFI_LOADER=n as default for any of the boards in the list above?
OpenBSD (quite deliberately) doesn't support these, so from our standpoint this would be fine.
