Ok, but that doesn't make any sense: you're assigning UPLOAD_DONE to
cap_info->index only once in efi_capsule_submit_update() and you're not
testing it anywhere. Yeah, yeah, you're implicitly testing for it by
doing the "< 0" check.
So simply assign -1 to ->index to mean *any* type of error occurred,
remove the defines and you can always test for "< 0" to mean "did
something fail".
You simply don't need two error values...
