Last chunk: This backports EFI capsule updates, primarily for the use
with the IOT2020 and IOT2040, the latter with Quark-proprietary security
header format. The feature should also work for the Galileo Gen 2 and,
at least conceptually, for any EFI capsule update compatible firmware.

What is the purpose of this series? I hope you are not expecting this
to be considered for -stable?
Please check Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst for
guidelines on what is appropriate for -stable.
