From: apalos <ilias.apalodi...@linaro.org>
Although U-Boot supports capsule update on-disk, it's lack of support for
SetVariable at runtime prevents applications like fwupd from using it.
In order to perform the capsule update on-disk the spec says that the OS
must copy the capsule to the \EFI\UpdateCapsule directory and set a bit in
the OsIndications variable. The firmware then checks for the
EFI_OS_INDICATIONS_FILE_CAPSULE_DELIVERY_SUPPORTED bit in OsIndications
variable, which is set by submitter to trigger processing of the capsule
on next reboot.
Let's add a config option which ignores the bit checking in OsIndications
and just rely on the capsule being present. Since U-Boot deletes the
capsule while processing it, we won't end up running it multiple times.
Note that this is allowed for all capsules. In the future once,
authenticated capsules is fully supported, we can limit the functionality
to those only.
