We could make efi_capsule_setup_info() a weak symbol just like

drivers/firmware/efi/reboot.c:
bool __weak efi_poweroff_required(void)

that way Arm is none the wiser and we can bury the Quark Quirk in 
x86/platform/efi/quirks.c - where you're right Ard it arguably belongs - 
not in the core code.

One thing we want is to continue to have Quark work on ia32 builds 
without having to compile a Quark specific kernel just to get this 
feature working.

Jan I haven't had time to look at what you said about the BSP code not 
working with capsules on Gen2 (I will during the week though). If you 
currently have to strip the CSH to make this work then we're missing a 
trick on tip-of-tree and need to sort that out for the final version of 
this.
