Hi Ilias,
Sorry for the late reply.
If i point to esp, then it should work.
But in the boot option generation, they are skipping if its a partition:
i.e., in lib/efi_loader/efi_bootmgr.c:
efi_bootmgr_enumerate_boot_options(), in this code (line 838):
if (blkio->media->logical_partition)
continue;
It seems that, by default, the boot option generation logic is not
designed to include partition as a boot option; Not sure if this is
intentional. If its not, then should we correct this logic? Your inputs
are appreciated.

I am not sure this is a bug. The EFI spec says that in order to
trigger a capsule update you need to have an active boot option
pointing to the same ESP the capsule is installed.
Is your boot0000 automatically generated? If so it doesnt point to the
ESP and the capsule update doesn't trigger correctly. Does it work if
you manually add a boot option pointing to the ESP?
