<id>02673659e81391729792ebc1b816d974de3c9abf</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new fwumdata tool to allows users to read, display, and modify FWU
(Firmware Update) metadata from Linux userspace. It provides functionality
similar to fw_printenv/fw_setenv but for FWU metadata. Users can view
metadata, change active/previous bank indices, modify bank states, and set
image acceptance flags. Configuration is done via fwumdata.config file.

Create a Kconfig which indicates that EFI functionality is in use,
either as a client (EFI app / stub) or provider (EFI loader). This will
make it easier to share code between these two parts of U-Boot

The generic name 'EFI' would be more useful for common EFI features. At
present it just refers to the EFI app and stub, which is confusing.

Rename it to EFI_CLIENT

<title>efi: Rename the lib/efi directory</title>

<content type='text'>
This directory was created when U-Boot gained the ability to run as an
EFI app in 2015. Since then the EFI-loader feature has been added.

The code in lib/efi is not actually used by the loader, so the name is
confusing.

Rename the directory to efi_client to indicate that it includes files
just for U-Boot being a client of EFI, i.e. the EFI app and stub.

<title>efi_loader: Rename and move CMD_BOOTEFI_HELLO_COMPILE</title>

<content type='text'>
This is not actually a command so the name is confusing. Use
BOOTEFI_HELLO_COMPILE instead. Put it in the efi_loader directory
with the other such config options.

The link rule (for $(obj)/%_efi.so) in scripts/Makefile.lib handles
pulling in efi_crt0.o and efi_reloc.o so drop the 'extra' rules.

<title>scripts/Makefile.lib: EFI: Use capsule CRT instead of ESL file</title>

The EFI Capsule ESL file (EFI Signature List File) used for authentication
is a binary generated from the EFI Capsule public key certificate. Instead
of including it in the source repo, automatically generate it from the
certificate file during the build process.

Currently, sandbox is the only device using this, so removed its ESL file
and set the (new) CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_CRT_FILE config to point to its public
key certificate.
