This reverts commit a7e4f905d206d5895dab4bd38a8316e4f2fe15fe.
The description originally written by Sughosh is still valid
even after the commit 47a25e81d35c ("Revert "efi_capsule: Move signature
from DTB to .rodata"") was applied.

+Enabling UEFI Capsule Update feature
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Support has been added for the UEFI capsule update feature which
+enables updating the U-Boot image using the UEFI firmware management
+protocol (FMP). The capsules are not passed to the firmware through
+the UpdateCapsule runtime service. Instead, capsule-on-disk
+functionality is used for fetching the capsule from the EFI System
+Partition (ESP) by placing the capsule file under the
+\EFI\UpdateCapsule directory.
+
+The directory \EFI\UpdateCapsule is checked for capsules only within the
+EFI system partition on the device specified in the active boot option
+determined by reference to BootNext variable or BootOrder variable processing.
+The active Boot Variable is the variable with highest priority BootNext or
+within BootOrder that refers to a device found to be present. Boot variables
+in BootOrder but referring to devices not present are ignored when determining
+active boot variable.
+Before starting a capsule update make sure your capsules are installed in the
+correct ESP partition or set BootNext.
+
+Performing the update
+*********************
+
+Since U-boot doesn't currently support SetVariable at runtime there's a Kconfig
+option (CONFIG_EFI_IGNORE_OSINDICATIONS) to disable the OsIndications variable
+check. If that option is enabled just copy your capsule to \EFI\UpdateCapsule.
+
+If that option is disabled, you'll need to set the OsIndications variable with::
+
+    => setenv -e -nv -bs -rt -v OsIndications =0x04
+
+Finally, the capsule update can be initiated either by rebooting the board,
+which is the preferred method, or by issuing the following command::
+
+    => efidebug capsule disk-update
+
+**The efidebug command is should only be used during debugging/development.**
+
+Enabling Capsule Authentication
+*******************************
+
+The UEFI specification defines a way of authenticating the capsule to
+be updated by verifying the capsule signature. The capsule signature
+is computed and prepended to the capsule payload at the time of
+capsule generation. This signature is then verified by using the
+public key stored as part of the X509 certificate. This certificate is
+in the form of an efi signature list (esl) file, which is embedded as
+part of U-Boot.
+
+The capsule authentication feature can be enabled through the
+following config, in addition to the configs listed above for capsule
+update::
+
+    CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_AUTHENTICATE=y
+    CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_KEY_PATH=<path to .esl cert>
+
+The public and private keys used for the signing process are generated
+and used by the steps highlighted below::
+
+    1. Install utility commands on your host
+       * OPENSSL
+       * efitools
+
+    2. Create signing keys and certificate files on your host
+
+        $ openssl req -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -subj /CN=CRT/ \
+            -keyout CRT.key -out CRT.crt -nodes -days 365
+        $ cert-to-efi-sig-list CRT.crt CRT.esl
+
+        $ openssl x509 -in CRT.crt -out CRT.cer -outform DER
+        $ openssl x509 -inform DER -in CRT.cer -outform PEM -out CRT.pub.pem
+
+        $ openssl pkcs12 -export -out CRT.pfx -inkey CRT.key -in CRT.crt
+        $ openssl pkcs12 -in CRT.pfx -nodes -out CRT.pem
+
+The capsule file can be generated by using the GenerateCapsule.py
+script in EDKII::
+
+    $ ./BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/GenerateCapsule -e -o \
+      <capsule_file_name> --monotonic-count <val> --fw-version \
+      <val> --lsv <val> --guid \
+      e2bb9c06-70e9-4b14-97a3-5a7913176e3f --verbose \
+      --update-image-index <val> --signer-private-cert \
+      /path/to/CRT.pem --trusted-public-cert \
+      /path/to/CRT.pub.pem --other-public-cert /path/to/CRT.pub.pem \
+      <u-boot.bin>
+
+Place the capsule generated in the above step on the EFI System
+Partition under the EFI/UpdateCapsule directory
+
+Testing on QEMU
+***************
+
+Currently, support has been added on the QEMU ARM64 virt platform for
+updating the U-Boot binary as a raw image when the platform is booted
+in non-secure mode, i.e. with CONFIG_TFABOOT disabled. For this
+configuration, the QEMU platform needs to be booted with
+'secure=off'. The U-Boot binary placed on the first bank of the NOR
+flash at offset 0x0. The U-Boot environment is placed on the second
+NOR flash bank at offset 0x4000000.
+
+The capsule update feature is enabled with the following configuration
+settings::
+
+    CONFIG_MTD=y
+    CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD=y
+    CONFIG_CMD_MTDPARTS=y
+    CONFIG_CMD_DFU=y
+    CONFIG_DFU_MTD=y
+    CONFIG_PCI_INIT_R=y
+    CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_ON_DISK=y
+    CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT=y
+    CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_FIRMWARE=y
+    CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_FIRMWARE_RAW=y
+
+In addition, the following config needs to be disabled(QEMU ARM specific)::
+
+    CONFIG_TFABOOT
+
+The capsule file can be generated by using the tools/mkeficapsule::
+
+    $ mkeficapsule --raw <u-boot.bin> --index 1 <capsule_file_name>
+
