Add an anchor to be able to refer to the "In-band firmware update" section. Signed-off-by: Vincent Stehlé <[email protected]>
We require in-band firmware updates in the "Firmware Management Protocol Data Capsule Structure" format. This is a bit misleading as this format described in UEFI § 23.3.2 is only about the capsule body. Refer to the Firmware Management Protocol format instead to avoid the confusion, remove the unnecessary quotation marks and introduce the FMP acronym.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
UpdateCapsule() expects a scatter list. From that scatter list a capsule can be reconstructed as described in "23.3.2 DEFINED FIRMWARE MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL DATA CAPSULE STRUCTURE". The capsule consists of a EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_IMAGE_HEADER and a capsule body. The body starts with an EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_HEADER.
The term "Firmware Management Protocol Format" would not catch the existence of a scatter list and an EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_IMAGE_HEADER.

As per our call of Jan 15, this does not help clarifying; let's drop it. |

OsIndicationsSupportedVariable.Therefore, let's require the corresponding
OsIndicationsSupportedbits as well.In this series there is also a commit to add a new section anchor and a commit to clarify our mention of the FMP format, which could probably be merged immediately.
