I think windows ARM laptops use UEFI?

[Arnavion]

publicmail was asking about ACPI vs DT, not UEFI. Using UEFI and ACPI/DT are orthogonal; DT-using devices can also boot from UEFI if the firmware provides it. See https://github.com/TravMurav/dtbloader for example.

This is explicitly what we're doing in RHEL with the P550.

We use u-boot and it's EFI capabilities to init grub (instead of another instance of u-boot)

Why not use systemd-boot?

[ChocolateGod]

They do, Windows Phone even use UEFI (not sure was completely compliant) back in the day.

looks like they still require a custom device tree to boot Linux
