I support this request.

I'm not sure about this, though.  On x86 it seems safe to assume that
the system firmware and discrete graphics cards have a UEFI graphics
driver and support GOP.  On other platforms, UEFI may be implemented by
U-Boot, where video support is optional.  So this could be a regression
for them.
