By all means UEFI can be considered platform dependent at the moment:

comet:~/tip> git grep -i uefi arch/arm64/
comet:~/tip> git grep -i uefi arch/powerpc/

If a committee says that a name of some standard is 'common platform' does
not make it so. lib/ is mostly kept for mathematical, C-library alike
functionality you see in CS textbooks.
