With the recent change that I had made, we do need different GUIDs for
different images in the capsule, but the FMP instance will be the same
for all raw images, and similarly for all FIT images. But the
set_image function does not know for which image the function has been
called. Multiple images of a given type(raw/FIT) can use the same
set_image function.

We have discussed this earlier as well. What you say is true for the
normal capsule update. However, for the FWU(A/B) updates, the image
index is going to be calculated at run-time, based on the
partition(bank) to which the image needs to be written to. Which is
the sole purpose of having the fwu_get_image_index() API. I could have
moved the function out of the efi_capsule.c to the FMP's set_image
functions, but like I mentioned earlier, the set_image function does
not know the ImageTypeId of the image for which it has been called --
since the image_index is a parameter being passed to the set_image
function, we need to compute it earlier, before calling the function.
