I do not know but there appears to be a UEFI port already.
There is:

https://github.com/SolidRun/edk2-platforms/tree/master-lx2160a

as was referenced in:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2020-May/021609.html

I've no clue if the combination of that with FreeBSD "just works".
The last commit seems to be on 2020-Feb-12.

The edk2 material above seems to be tied to the same person as
the twitter link below, with a solid-run E-mail address shown
in edk2 material.

There is https://twitter.com/linux4kix/status/1210936214259404800?s=3D20
that reports the PCIe ECAM needs a quirk to deal with the differing
address spaces between it and the devices behind it. It mentions SATA
errata as well. And it mentions V2 silicon in the future for fixing
these points. It also indicates "98% SBSA compliant".

One of the replies is from Jared McNeill indicating that he got his
board and was looking to get NetBSD running on it.

Back at the edk2-platform/tree/master-lx2160a area there is this:

QUOTE
Add this class code so AHCI functions properly on kernels that don't
have the qoriq specific AHCI driver.

This still misses the quirk for V1 silicon that if the device is hard
reset the SerDes can lose link, but in general this is enough to boot
and install an OS.
