I am not sure if this is what you want: 1). If on previous cold boot, VGA ROM has been run. Then on next S3 boot, VGA ROM should also be run. 2). If on previous cold boot, VGA ROM has not been run. Then on next S3 boot, VGA ROM should not be run. So this is actually controlled by the CONFIG_VIDEO_VESA driver. But this new Kconfig option aims to solve: even CONFIG_VIDEO_VESA driver is used in a normal boot, U-Boot can still bypass the driver probe (ROM execution) in an S3 boot to save some resume time. > At present, at least on ivybridge (non-FSP), the ROM execution happens > when the device comes up.
