I wasn't aware that this package existed until now...

The marvell flavour is constrained by memory and partition limits on
many of the supported machines, so it is unlikely that we would want to
increase its size further by enabling EFI support.

The rpi flavour doesn't have those constraints, though.  What would be
the benefit of booting it in UEFI mode?
