[PATCH v7 8/8] doc: uefi: Update the capsule update related documentation

[Sughosh Ganu]

Update the capsule update functionality related documentation to
refect the additional definitions that need to be made per platform
for supporting the capsule update feature.

Changes since V6:
* Add example for the struct efi_fw_image array and struct
  efi_capsule_update_info as suggested by Takahiro

+A few values need to be defined in the board file for performing the
+capsule update. These values are defined in the board file by
+initialisation of a structure which provides information needed for
+capsule updates. The following structures have been defined for
+containing the image related information
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct efi_fw_images {
+		efi_guid_t image_type_id;
+		u16 *fw_name;
+		u8 image_index;
+	};
+
+	struct efi_capsule_update_info {
+		const char *dfu_string;
+		struct efi_fw_image *images;
+	};
+
+
+A string is defined which is to be used for populating the
+dfu_alt_info variable. This string is used by the function
+set_dfu_alt_info. Instead of taking the variable from the environment,
+the capsule update feature requires that the variable be set through
+the function, since that is more robust. Allowing the user to change
+the location of the firmware updates is not a very secure
+practice. Getting this information from the firmware itself is more
+secure, assuming the firmware has been verified by a previous stage
+boot loader.
+
+The firmware images structure defines the GUID values, image index
+values and the name of the images that are to be updated through
+the capsule update feature. These values are to be defined as part of
+an array. These GUID values would be used by the Firmware Management
+Protocol(FMP) to populate the image descriptor array and also
+displayed as part of the ESRT table. The image index values defined in
+the array should be one greater than the dfu alt number that
+corresponds to the firmware image. So, if the dfu alt number for an
+image is 2, the value of image index in the fw_images array for that
+image should be 3. The dfu alt number can be obtained by running the
+following command::
+
+    dfu list
+
+When using the FMP for FIT images, the image index value needs to be
+set to 1.
+
 Finally, the capsule update can be initiated by rebooting the board.
 
+An example of setting the values in the struct efi_fw_image and
+struct efi_capsule_update_info is shown below
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct efi_fw_image fw_images[] = {
+		{
+			.image_type_id = DEVELOPERBOX_UBOOT_IMAGE_GUID,
+			.fw_name = u"DEVELOPERBOX-UBOOT",
+			.image_index = 1,
+		},
+		{
+			.image_type_id = DEVELOPERBOX_FIP_IMAGE_GUID,
+			.fw_name = u"DEVELOPERBOX-FIP",
+			.image_index = 2,
+		},
+		{
+			.image_type_id = DEVELOPERBOX_OPTEE_IMAGE_GUID,
+			.fw_name = u"DEVELOPERBOX-OPTEE",
+			.image_index = 3,
+		},
+	};
+
+	struct efi_capsule_update_info update_info = {
+		.dfu_string = "mtd nor1=u-boot.bin raw 200000 100000;"
+				"fip.bin raw 180000 78000;"
+				"optee.bin raw 500000 100000",
+		.images = fw_images,
+	};
+
+The platform will define a fw_images array which contains information
+of all the firmware images that are to be updated through capsule
+update mechanism. The dfu_string is the string that is to be set as
+dfu_alt_info. In the example above, the image index to be set for
+u-boot.bin binary is 0x1, for fip.bin is 0x2 and for optee.bin is 0x3.
+
+As an example, for generating the capsule for the optee.bin image, the
+following command can be issued
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ ./tools/mkeficapsule \
+      --index 0x3 --instance 0 \
+      --guid c1b629f1-ce0e-4894-82bf-f0a38387e630 \
+      optee.bin optee.capsule
