Public bug reported: U-boot is now able to emulate UEFI and this is used by openSUSE to boot the raspberry pi [1].
I would like to use this technique to load grub2. However, according to [2] new versions of grub2 require a 32 bit kernel to be built with EFI stub enabled. I have successfully used this U-boot/grub2 combination to boot a generic aarch64 Ubuntu kernel on my pi3 [3]. It works well and would be a huge improvement if this could be brought to arm 32 bit.
