Please note that with the generic distro framework U-Boot will grok
https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec/ and
things Just Work.  I setup a bunch of SD cards with Debian and Fedora
over holiday so I can drop them in whatever board and boot up Linux as a
sanity test.

I certainly can see a usecase for kicking off an EFI binary as part of
fitting into existing work-flows.  But we do already have a something
for getting rid of that particular pain-point and it's working :)
