By all means UEFI can be considered platform dependent at the moment:

  comet:~/tip> git grep -i uefi arch/arm/
  comet:~/tip> git grep -i uefi arch/arm64/
  comet:~/tip> git grep -i uefi arch/powerpc/
  comet:~/tip> git grep -i uefi arch/mips/
  comet:~/tip> 

If a committee says that a name of some standard is 'common platform' does 
not make it so. lib/ is mostly kept for mathematical, C-library alike 
functionality you see in CS textbooks.

drivers/uefi/?

Thanks,
