We're about a month from release, and given upcoming holidays for many
people, about to enter a period of less testing of changes probably as
well. With that, the documentation changes are fine. I believe we need
those "Further UEFI changes" as well to fix regressions. But for ESP
changes, I think for v2025.01 if there's specific platforms always
getting things wrong now they can use PREBOOT to init / probe the
required subsystems, and boards / distributions can do similar, in their
bootcmd, yes?
