Hi, it seems that some kernel configs can cause problems with the CONFIG_EFI_GRUB_ARM32_WORKAROUND. Namely, 6.1-cip and 5.10-cip with its current defconfigs [1] no longer boot on the BeagleBone Black (other boards still need validation), both with the more recommendable systemd-boot and grub. I do not have the motivation to debug the reason in the kernel / its config, given that everything works fine once the firmware behaves according to the UEFI spec.
Meanwhile, grub reached 2.12 now which is far away from the old, broken version of 2019. So, should we rather make this workaround opt-in in 2026?
