I understand your concern with using dfu_alt_info for storing the
information needed for writing the capsule payload. However, putting the
information currently stored on the dfu_alt_info on a capsule should
require a spec change IMO. This should first be discussed and brought in as
part of the UEFI spec. Also, when you say signed capsule, please note not
the entire capsule gets signed -- it is only the capsule payloads that are
signed, not the headers. So putting the information currently stored in dfu
env var to the capsule would mean adding a header to the payload, which
would contain this information, and then the header plus payload would be
signed. However this is implemented, this would mean changes to the current
capsule format, and making this change without changing the spec would also
mean that we will also not be able to use the GenerateCapsule tool for
capsule generation. This is not a small change which can be included as a
patch in the FWU A/B update series, but should be taken up as a separate
exercise.
