Actually... No, this is not the issue. U-Boot has an implementation for the Network Subsystem, which means that you can read/write raw UDP packets. The implementation on arm64 makes use of a higher level TFTP implementation which proper EFI implementations provide. This can be seen on the OverDrive 1000. It provides an interface to "get files". This means the EFI layer does the actual TFTP protocol. u-boot does not provide this layer. If you need network boot support on u-boot based machines, you either need to implement this layer in u-boot, our you need to extend our arm64 bootloader to do raw network packets and the TFTP protocol.
