This patch still completely changes how standard boot operates, from
lazy probing boot devices from fastest to slowest (probe time) as
described in the standard boot documentation [1], to probing all boot
devices all at once before checking for a bootmeth/bootflow.
This slows down script and extlinux booing on my Rockchip board by
several seconds because now pcie and usb is probed before current fast
bootflow from mmc devices is tested.
Will you work on a fix for this or do you recommend disabling the
efi_mgr bootmeth or similar? E.g. something like the diff below.
Similarly if I understand correctly the priority of efi_mgr bootmeth,
first regardless of configured bootmeth order, is the main blocker for
sunxi to fully move to standard boot.
