 * Besides the trusted certificates, it's also possible to configure the trusted
   cipher suites for HTTPS through another fw_cfg entry: etc/edk2/https/ciphers.

   OVMF expects a binary UINT16 array which comprises the cipher suites HEX
   IDs(*4). If the cipher suite list is given, OVMF will choose the cipher
   suite from the intersection of the given list and the built-in cipher
   suites. Otherwise, OVMF just chooses whatever proper cipher suites from the
   built-in ones.
 
-  While the tool(*5) to create the cipher suite array is still under
-  development, the array can be generated with the following script:

+  information on the "priority" property.)

+  - Using QEMU 5.1 or earlier, the array has to be passed from a file:
