We have had EFI loader support enabled by default on armv7 platforms for a long time now. However, there has been little uptake in the wider community to use EFI loader support as the step to start a generic OS distribution, on this architecture family and the focus has been on armv8 instead. Disable this by default for armv7 only.

OpenBSD/armv7 relies on EFI loader support as well.
OK, thanks guys. I missed the Fedora link and I thought *BSD was still using a custom loader on v7.
Yes, so Fedora uses UEFI by default for across all arm devices now. Linaro also uses it for a bunch of their reference platforms but Ilias will be able to better provide details there.
