You don't want to enable this. First of all that Kconfig option is set to 'y' by default. Looking at our Kconfig again it should only be allowed if EFI_RT_VOLATILE_STORE is not enabled as well since it breaks the EFI spec. That option was added years ago when we had no variable runtime support. If your Kconfig enables EFI_RT_VOLATILE_STORE, you should writethat variable on capsule updates.
