Bug description:
[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:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/fwupdate/commit/f1cc489783d2054e90fa6bebc3732e7ea8bb3722
[Test Case]
== fwupdate ==
On a system with a capsule update available, perform capsule update using fwupdate. Verify the system works properly after the update.
== efivar ==
We avoided the upgrade of efivar so we don't need to validate its reverse-dependencies.
[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.
