As I proposed and discussed in [1] and [2], I have made a couple of
improvements on the current implementation of capsule update in this
patch set.

* add signing feature to mkeficapsule
* add "--guid" option to mkeficapsule
* add man page of mkeficapsule
* update uefi document regarding capsule update
* revise pytests

Prerequisite patches
====================
None

Test
====
* locally passed the pytest which is included in this patch series
  on sandbox built.
  (CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_AUTHENTICATE should explicitly be turned on
  in order to exercise the authentication code.)

Changes
=======
v9 (Jan 18, 2022)
* rebased on v2022.01
* print the output messages to stderr (patch#1,#2, #4 and #6)
* use SIZE_MAX instead of (u32)!0U (patch#2)
* revise and re-format the man page of mkeficapsule (patch#5)
* add "code-block:: console" directives for command line examples
  in a ReST document (patch#6)
* describe the case when a trailing '/' in EFITOOLS_PATH is needed
  (patch#7)
* describe UUID data as a binary rather than a string (patch#8)
* drop fdtsig.sh-related patches (patch#12,#13 in v8)

  (patch#2)

v7 (Nov 16, 2021)
* rebased on pre-v2022.01-rc2

* check for a size of firmware binary file (patch#1)
* enable mkeficapsule in tools-only_defconfig (patch#2)
* define eficapsule.h and include it from mkeficapsule (patch#3)
  Hopefully, the tool can now compile on non-linux host.

* describe the format of public key node in device tree (patch#4)
* re-order patches by grouping closely-related patches (patch#6-8)
* modify pytest to make the test results correctly verified
  either with or without CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_AUTHENTICATE (patch#9)
* add RFCs for embedding public keys during the build process (patch#10,11)

v4 (Oct 7, 2021)
* rebased on v2021.10
* align with "Revert "efi_capsule: Move signature from DTB to .rodata""
* add more missing *revert* commits (patch#1,#2,#3)
* add fdtsig.sh, replacing dtb support in mkeficapsule (patch#4)
* update/revise the man/uefi doc (patch#6,#7)
* fix a bug in parsing guid string (patch#8)
* add a test for "--guid" option (patch#10)
* use dtb-based authentication test as done in v1 (patch#11)

v3 (Aug 31, 2021)
* rebased on v2021.10-rc3
* remove pytest-related patches
* add function descriptions in mkeficapsule.c
* correct format specifiers in printf()
* let main() return 0 or -1 only
* update doc/develop/uefi/uefi.rst for syntax change of mkeficapsule

v2 (July 28, 2021)
* rebased on v2021.10-rc*
* removed dependency on target's configuration
* removed fdtsig.sh and others
* add man page
* update the UEFI document
* add dedicate defconfig for testing on sandbox

  (yet rather RFC)

Initial release (May 12, 2021)
* based on v2021.07-rc2
