The daemon creates a baseclass of either FuUsbDevice or FuUdevDevice when the
devices are added or coldplugged to match the quirk database and to find out
what plugin to run.
This is proxied to plugins, but they are given the GUsbDevice or GUdevDevice and
the FuDevice is just thrown away. Most plugins either use a FuUsbDevice or
superclassed version like FuNvmeDevice and so we re-create the FuDevice, re-probe
the hardware, re-query the quirk database and then return this to the daemon.
In some cases, plugins actually probe the hardware three times (!) by creating
a FuUsbDevice to get the quirks, so that the plugin knows what kind of
superclass to create, which then itself probes the hardware again.
Passing the temporary FuDevice to the plugins means that the simplest ones can
just fu_plugin_device_add() the passed in object, or create a superclass and
incorporate the actual GUsbDevice and all the GUIDs.
This breaks internal plugin API but speeds up startup substantially and deletes
a lot of code.
The setup() is the counterpart to probe(), the difference being the former needs
the device open and the latter does not.
This allows objects that derive from FuDevice, and use FuDeviceLocker to use
open() and close() without worrying about the performance implications of
probing the hardware, i.e. open() now simply opens a file or device.
Five plugins (soon to be 7) are linking to the DFU plugin just for this simple
segment-aware chunking functionality. Move this into common code to make
building simpler.
This pivots the data storage so that the group is used as the preconditon
and the key name is used as the parameter to change. This allows a more natural
data flow, where a new device needs one new group and a few few keys, rather
than multiple groups, each with one key.
This also allows us to remove the key globbing when matching the version format
which is often a source of confusion.
Whilst changing all the quirk files, change the key prefixes to be more familiar
to Windows users (e.g. Hwid -> Smbios, and FuUsbDevice -> DeviceInstanceId)
who have to use the same IDs in Windows Update.
This also allows us to pre-match the desired plugin, rather than calling the
probe() function on each plugin.
CSR is short for Cambridge Silicon Radio, which is a the OEM that makes most
of the bluetooth audio chips in vendor hardware. The hardware vendor can enable
or disable features on the CSR microcontroller depending on licensing options.
The hardware vendor can also use a custom USB descriptor, or just set a custom
PID. In the latter case we need to set the vendor and model to reality using
quirks.
This commit allows the user to update the firmware in the AIAIAI H05 wireless
headphones.
