["Kweh, Hock Leong" <hock.leong.kweh@intel.com>]

From: "Kweh, Hock Leong" <hock.leong.kweh@intel.com>

Dear maintainers & communities,

This patchset is created on top of "efi: Capsule update support" patch:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.efi/4837

It expose a sysfs loader interface for user to upload the capsule binary
and calling efi_capsule_update() API to pass the binary to EFI firmware.

Thanks.
