[PATCH] configs: socfpga: Permit EFI booting

Jan Kiszka jan.kiszka at siemens.com
Fri Nov 14 18:13:49 CET 2025 

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka at siemens.com>

Commit f369e1564cf4 turned those off because the SPL size grew too
large. It also argued that those boards would never support EFI booting.
The former is correct, therefore keep CONFIG_SPL_EFI_PARTITION off.
CONFIG_SPL_ISO_PARTITION is default off. What is not correct is that
those boards are limited to legacy boot - you just need a hybrid
partition table to make both the bootrom and UEFI happy.
