[PATCH v6 2/2] efi: a misc char interface for user to update efi firmware

From: Kweh, Hock Leong
Date: Thu Oct 01 2015 - 09:06:47 EST


From: "Kweh, Hock Leong" <hock.leong.kweh@xxxxxxxxx>

Introducing a kernel module to expose capsule loader interface
(misc char device file note) for user to upload capsule binaries.

Example method to load the capsule binary:
cat firmware.bin > /dev/efi_capsule_loader
