This still has the problem that it reboots in the middle of the test.
Can we get that fixed? If someone at Linaro isn't interested I could
take a look at it.

I think we discussed this in the past.  We *need* to reboot as that's what
the EFI describes.  Why is it a problem?

Would you like me to provide a patch that shows it not rebooting? It
is a simple matter of kicking off the update process, which we can do
directly, without a reboot.

I know it's a single efidebug command to trigger this without a
reboot.  However it is not going to test the final code which is meant
to run capsule updates on a reboot as the spec defines.  So again, why
is rebooting a problem?

I guess that what we are looking for are different.
Simon's aim is to do, so called, an unit test first, using an internal function,
while what I, rather we?, intended to do a system test or standard-conformance 
test.

I believe that we need to have some consensus on test methodology to be
added to U-Boot repository.

Unit tests could cover aspects of capsule updates. But what we enable here are the integration tests. For such a complicated functionality as capsule updates unit tests alone are inadequate. They could be added on top to test individual functions.
