[RFC 3/3] efi: add capsule update capability via sysfs

From: James Bottomley
Date: Wed Apr 29 2015 - 19:12:16 EST


From: James Bottomley <JBottomley@xxxxxxxx>

The firmware update should be applied simply by doing

cat fw_file > /sys/firmware/capsule/update

With a properly formatted fw_file. Any error will be returned on close of
stdout. util-linux returns errors correctly from closing stdout, but firmware
shippers should check whatever utilities package they use correctly captures
the error return on close.
