Did you look at why? From what I can see, it is because you are adding
the multiple-images tag in binman but not updating VPL. This patch
seems to fix it:

I think it makes sense to generate the capsule definition for all
sandbox builds so you can drop the #ifdefs. Once the tests are tidied
up, it won't have that much impact...if it annoys us we can drop it
later. The EFI_CAPSULE_ESL_FILE Kconfig needs to be present always (no
'depends on'), default to "", otherwise you need an annoying #ifdef in
the .dtsi file.

Simon
