Surely it isn't the chipset which determines what disk format you can
boot from, it's the firmware. I know the BIOS on my new intel PC boots
my new Bullseye install which I did with MBR boot partition and no ESP.
(Not having setup EFI booting before I stuck with what I knew).
The boot selection menu on my motherboard also lets me select between
the MBR and EFI boot on my Debian installer USB stick, so seems happy
to do both. I've read many places that this experience of legacy boot
support isn't universal though, but I'm pretty sure it's a firmware not
chipset issue.
