[PATCH v3 00/11] Integrate EFI capsule tasks into u-boot's build flow

This patchset aims to bring two capsule related tasks under the u-boot
build flow.

One is the embedding of the public key into the platform's dtb. The
public key is in the form of an EFI Signature List(ESL) file and is
used for capsule authentication. This is being achieved by adding the
signature node containing the capsule public key in the architecture's
u-boot.dtsi file. Currently, the u-boot.dtsi file has been added for
the sandbox and arm architectures. The path to the ESL file is being
provided through a Kconfig symbol(CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_ESL_FILE).

Changes have also been made to the test flow so that the keys used for
signing the capsule, and the ESL file, are generated prior to invoking
the u-boot's build, which enables embedding the ESL file into the dtb
as part of the u-boot build.

The other task is related to generation of capsules. Support is being
added to generate capsules by specifying the capsule parameters in a
config file. Calling the mkeficapsule tool then results in generation
of the corresponding capsule files. The capsules can be generated as
part of u-boot build, and this is being achieved through binman, by
adding a capsule entry type. The capsules can be generated either by
specifying the capsule parameters in a config file, or through
specifying them as properties under the capsule entry node. If using
the config file, the path to the config file is to be specified
through a Kconfig symbol(CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_CFG_FILE).

Changes have also been made to the efi capsule update feature testing
setup on the sandbox variants. Currently, the capsule files and the
public key ESL file are generated after u-boot has been built. This
logic has been changed so that the capsule input files along with the
keys needed for capsule signing and authentication are generated prior
to initiation of the u-boot build. The placement of all the files
needed for generation of capsules, along with the generated capsule
files is under the /tmp/capsules/ directory.

Currently, the capsule update feature is tested on the sandbox
and sandbox_flattree variants in CI. The capsule generation through
config file is enabled for the sandbox variant, with the
sandbox_flattree variant generating capsules through the command-line
parameters.

The document has been updated to reflect the above changes.

Changes since V2:
This version embeds the capsule auth related public key through the
u-boot.dtsi file. The capsule generation has been moved to binman. The
changes in the test setup have been split into multiple patches,
instead of a single monolithic patch.

* Add the public key ESL file through the u-boot.dtsi
* Add the dtsi files for sandbox and arm architectures
* Add a check in the Makefile that the ESL file path is not empty.
* Highlight the need to use the u-boot.dtsi file for embedding the
  public key ESL into the DTB.
* Add a Kconfig boolean symbol CONFIG_EFI_USE_CAPSULE_CFG_FILE which
  can be used to generate capsules through config file or parameters.
* New patch which generates capsules through binman replacing the
  earlier make target.
* New patch setting up the capsule files needed for CI run
* New patch for setting up the capsule files in the pytest setup
  before initiation of u-boot build.
* New patch for removing the capsule key and ESL generation logic from
  the capsule test config file.
* New patch to add the capsule generation config file for sandbox.
* New patch for generating the capsules and capsule input files
  through binman.
