      main/device-pine64-pinephone: switch to UEFI booting · 50f78961
      Dylan Van Assche authored 
      Drop U-Boot scripts and enable UEFI booting with grub on the
PinePhone to be EBBR compliant. This brings the PinePhone boot process
on par with the PinePhone Pro. Tow-Boot is now a requirement to even be
able to boot as U-Boot does not have UEFI enabled.

Dropped the symlink from .. to /boot/allwinner because symlinks are
not supported on fat32 which is required for booting into UEFI.

      Moving towards Tow-Boot allows us to enable UEFI booting easily
on the PinePhone as well. Enable EFI and SMBIOS in the kernel config.

      Just as we did with the PPP already, we're moving the PP to requiring
Tow-Boot to be installed. This allows us to drop our own u-boot package
and use standard UEFI-based booting. We'll move to UEFI later but we can
already drop our own u-boot and use Tow-Boot in combination with
extlinux.conf
