If it uses an FSP then it probably isn't much work to get it running
with 32-bit U-Boot. Bin is the expert here.

For 64-bit, we have quite a few things to do. But note that 32-bit
U-Boot can directly boot both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels. It does not
have the 'UEFI' restriction of having to select your boot loader based
on your kernel.

Simon
