[PATCH v2 0/8] qcom: implement capsule updates

Hook up support for capsule updates loaded from disk on Qualcomm
platforms.

Most Qualcomm devices have an A/B partition layout, with most partitions
duplicated. The metadata on which slot is active is stored in the GPT
headers in the vendor-specific attribute bits of each partition.

Add support for reading this attributes via the disk_partition struct
and using them to determine which boot partition U-Boot is flashed to
and generate the appropriate DFU string.

This logic is gated behind a check to ensure that U-Boot is actually
being chainloaded and not run via some other mechanism.

SCSI support for most Qualcomm platforms is not yet enabled upstream,
but will follow in future patches.

This series enables capsule updates on the RB2, however [1] is required
for it to work properly (as otherwise MMC won't be available).
