Since it matches the Realtek dongle, shouldn't show this error:
failed to add USB device 0bda:8153: no dock detected
All the time when that dongle is plugged in
1) Switch to daemon provided vfuncs for USB
2) Set quirks so that the plugin only runs when Realtek NIC shows up
3) Rely on the daemon to process all removals by parent tree
If the daemon either de-duplicates or replaces the object passed emitted from
device-added then the object set as the alternate may not be the same instance
as the daemon version. This causes weird things to happen.
To make this less fragile, specify the *ID* of the object that should be the
alternate device, which allows the daemon to do clever things, and then assign
the object from the ID as the last step.
Although fixing no bug, this makes implementing future functionality easier.
Get the TPM v2.0 and v1.2 devices explictly rather than assuming the non-alt
device is always added first. This has the side effect of making the tests
easier to read and means we can check the dock components more carefully.
It's been decided that TPM mode switching won't be supported
on any other new platforms. Instead of blacklisting the outliers
whitelist the (smaller) list of platforms that do support the
feature.
Over the months the original meaning of ALLOW_OFFLINE and ALLOW_ONLINE have be
lost, and there is now a confusing mixture of uses in the source tree. With this
commit we make it clear the UPDATABLE flag is used to specify when the device is
updatable (e.g. from the desktop live session, or from the systemd offline
updates mode, or both) and the NEEDS_REBOOT flag lets us know when the update
is actually going to be done.
For instance, a UEFI UpdateCapsule can be *scheduled* from either the desktop
or from the update mode (but the latter would be a bit weird), but does require
a reboot. Some devices might only be updatable outside the live session, for
instance a hard drive update or a GPU update -- there's just too much going on
with a live session and we want to tightly control what's running during the
firmware flash.
This also means we don't have to "retry" the update when scheduling an update
that really can be scheduled whenever, but just requires a reboot to apply.
This is a large commit that removes all the providers and turns them into
plugins. I think having both providers _and_ plugins was super confusing.
Plugins are loaded at runtime so you could in theory develop a new plugin
without putting it in the fwupd source tree, although there are no installed
headers or PC files as I'm not sure it's a good idea at this stage.
This commit moves all the per-provider docs, tests, notes, debug dumps and test
data to plugin-specific directories -- these also allows the plugin author to
"own" more of the source tree so we don't enforce fu- prefixes and the style
guide everywhere.
This allows us to run the same action on all the plugins in the future, so we
could have a prepare(FuPlugin, FuDevice) and cleanup(FuPlugin, FuDevice) run
on *all* plugins, so doing an update using one plugin would allow us to work
around hardware quirks in other plugins.
If I've broken your out-of-tree provider it's trivial to port to the new API
with sed and a fixed up build file. If you need help please let me know.
