We currently pass a minimum major version to the generic EFI helper that checks the system table magic and version, and refuse to boot if the value is lower. The motivation for this check is unknown, and even the code that uses major version 2 as the minimum (ARM, arm64 and RISC-V) should make it past this check without problems, and boot to a point where we have access to a console or some other means to inform the user that the firmware's major revision number made us unhappy. (Revision 2.0 of the UEFI specification was released in January 2006, whereas ARM, arm64 and RISC-V support where added in 2009, 2013 and 2017, respectively, so checking for major version 2 or higher is completely arbitrary) So just drop the check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
