[PATCH v3 0/3] EFI Capsule update explicitly sets dfu_alt_info

[Jonathan Humphreys]

For capsule update, explicitly set the dfu_alt_info environment variable
before the DFU operation, and then restore it to the original value.
Previously, the dfu_alt_info environment variable was set with the
set_dfu_alt_info() function.

The problem with setting the capsule update's dfu_alt_info setting in
set_dfu_alt_info() is that set_dfu_alt_info() lacks the context of what DFU
operation is being performed (eg, capsule update, DFU boot, listing the
alt_info, etc) so the capsule update setting was overwriting the setting
for other DFU operations.

Changes from v1:
- use log_err() instead of pr_err()
- create a local copy of the original dfu_alt_info environment variable to
  be used to later restore it, rather than just a pointer to the stored
  value, because changing its value to the EFI capsule update setting will
  cause the original string location to be freed.
- even in the case of a DFU operation error, restore the dfu_alt_info
  environment variable to its original value.
- return EFI_EXIT based error codes if setting environment variables fails

Changes from v2:
- add patch for xilinx boards to set the dfu_string member with the created
  dfu_alt_info string for capsule updates
