The testsuite is based on https://01.org/linux-uefi-validation, but also bundles a separate SBSA testsuite, and a variant of the UEFI SCT that also checks aspects mandated by SBBR. But fundamentally, this is a test suite for server systems, to verify compliance of hardware and firmware. The relevance to FreeBSD should simply be that systems that pass it should require no platform-specific hacks to boot an existing kernel (although obvs. in some cases additional drivers might be required). Now, that is also pegged off ACPI, so depending on the state of that in the arm64 port, there may still be some firmware jigging required for DT. / Leif
