Thanks a lot for feedback, please feed this back to Loongson UEFI firmware team.
Update the firmware, as this is not the right way to fix a bug.

When Loongson laptop or notebook is equipped with a Radeon GPU,
the integrated graphics will not be used. Besides don't has a
dedicated VRAM, it also don't has a external video transmitters.
Therefore, the integrate graphics are completely not usable.
Please disable it on such cases.
