Yeah, it is the same partition type that my openSUSE Tumbleweed image
has and everything boots fine on rpi4.
My only problem with not having the partition type of 0xef in MBR is
that my UEFI variables (/ubootefi.var) could not be loaded because
U-Boot did not detect an ESP to either read or store them, but the UEFI
boot worked regardless.
