Hello Jan,

Thanks for taking the time to respin this.

I played around with these patches a bit (I can't really test them
since I don't have the hardware), and I am not really happy with the
non-trivial changes to the generic code, only to allow a header
displacement.

So instead, I attempted to come up with an alternative which does not
use a displacement field, but makes the core capsule routines work
with a copy of the capsule header rather than mandating that it exists
at the start of the buffer. This way, we can override the code that
performs the copy, and make it originate from somewhere else.

Could you please have a look at

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ardb/linux.git/log/?h=quark-capsule

and tell me if that would work for you? I will send them out for
proper review in any case, but to avoid confusion (if I missed
something obvious), I don't want to send them out just yet.

Thanks,
Ard.
