I have found no compile or runtime issues, on my BeagleBoard Rev. C4 or xM, with the current default configuration. At least, for my non-EFI boot environment.
The following items are brought in from the EFI config additions:
+CONFIG_SMBIOS_PRODUCT_NAME="beagle" +CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI=y +CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI_HELLO_COMPILE=y +CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y +CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION_ENTRIES_NUMBERS=128 +CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION_ENTRIES_OFF=0 +CONFIG_SPL_EFI_PARTITION=y +CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT_OVERLAY=y +CONFIG_GENERATE_SMBIOS_TABLE=y +CONFIG_SMBIOS_MANUFACTURER="ti" +CONFIG_EFI_LOADER=y
I would change the commit message though. It was not a mistake. It was removed to provide a minimal set of configuration options for the base BSP type of setup. Using EFI is a choice. In fact, I tested my changes on 3 different OMAP3 boards. So there has been no period of not working in the basic board configuration. Provably.
So if EFI is required, even though one may not use it, this is a don't care for me. My boards boot just fine without EFI.

It is related to EFI options since I use GPT partitions (and EFI/Grub2 to boot). That is why you did not find anything.

The thing is you introduced a regression with your commit, since EFI was supported previously. And you did not explicitly stated that you disabled it on purpose. So, it sounds like a mistake to me. If you don't care about EFI, it is your choice, but please do not break setup of others. A use case is openSUSE which relies on EFI/Grub2 to boot. Please note that EFI is now a default feature in U-Boot, so, please, let it enabled.

That is the piece that I do not use.

I am not a novice and my series received the usual mailing list oversight. Maybe even more than one iteration. As I stated, this is a don't care for me. EFI is not mandatory to function/boot. The bare minimum case was the target of the series.
I acknowledge your commit.
