I asked the same in coreboot list years ago when they started to port coreboot to ARM. I hardly remember but the point might have been to enable UEFI (both for functionality and possibly peripheral initialisation),
UEFI is extremely rare in the ARM world - the only SoC i know of that implements it is the iMX6.
or take other coreboot payloads,
that makes sense.
The goal of libreboot is distributing firmware for as many computers as possible that allows to use as much of them as possible with 100% free software.
... but if you don't *need* any firmware...
There might be the idea to port SeaBIOS to ARM. I can't outright dismiss it, but I can't think right now of what advantages it would have.
mmm... having a more "standard" VGA / login would be nice... but normally you have that to change settings such as "which hard drive to boot from". there aren't any hard drives... :)
so, we'll see how it goes.
