[Bug 1684034] Re: Dell Inspiron 5x65 touchpad doesn't work after BIOS Capsule Update

** Description changed:

- This Bug is found on Ubuntu 16.04 with fwupdate 0.5-2ubuntu4, but not
- found on Ubuntu 17.04 with fwupdate 9-1.
+ [Impact]
+ This Bug is found on Ubuntu 16.04 with fwupdate 0.5-2ubuntu4, but not found on Ubuntu 17.04 with fwupdate 9-1.
  
  The newer version of capsule flashing tools in Ubuntu 17.04 supports the
  reset type from some querycapsuleinfo call.

+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ On a system with a capsule update available, perform capsule update using fwupdate.  Verify the system works properly after the update.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Any vendors that relied upon the previous functionality (hardcoded to warm reset rather than querying for reset types) may have problems.  This is actually a BIOS
+ problem in those situations.
+ 
+ It's unlikely that this should happen though because querying for reset
+ types more closely aligns to the implementations that other OSes use
+ when applying capsule updates.
