Otherwise this would cause fwupd to sit in an endless loop when providing a bad
image.
This additional enum is only available in EC16, but since it doesn't break existing
API on older EC images, don't bump minimum requirement to EC16 yet.
This metadata key is now unnecessary, as firmwares are expected to set the
version format in the metadata.
If the metadata is missing, the LVFS allows a per-vendor default for non-semver
release versions which is now unconditionally set in metadata.
Plugins are allowed to 'opt-out' of this behaviour using _RULE_INHIBITS_IDLE.
This should be used where waking up the hardware to coldplug is expensive,
either from a power consumption point of view, or if other artifacts are going
to be seem -- for instance if the screen flickers when probing display devices.
This functionality is also inhibited when the actual upgrade is happening,
for obvious reasons.
Admins can turn off this auto-sleep behaviour by editing the daemon.conf file.

We load the Thunderbolt controller firmware to see if the controller is in
native mode, as this changes the GUID. If the controller is asleep the firmware
is not cached by the kernel and it can take more than 4 seconds to read out
504kB of firmware.
We only need the first two 64-byte chunks, so only read what is required.
This speeds up fwupd starting substantially, and also means we don't have to
allocate a giant chunk of heap memory just to inspect one byte.

The ids clash with the Xbox controller ids. This makes the Xbox controller unusable since fwupd unloads the device just after connecting it and fails to update it not being a 8bitdo device.
As seen here: https://github.com/paroj/xpad/issues/114
Since dell_dock is the priority plugin for MST flashing the VMM5331
no need to do delayed callbacks anymore.
When the dell_dock plugin bumps to EC 15 being the minimum requirement
more code can also be dropped.
1. Since board ID in synapticsmst.quirk is different based upon how
the board ID is read, don't whitelist it in `write_firmware`
2. Allow using `--force` with `fwupdmgr` or `fwupdtool` to override
board ID check.
3. Allow using custom flag `ignore-board-id` to ignore board IDs.
This will be the default for EVB boards and can be used in the event
of a factory mistake as well.
4. Move the EVB board IDs into their own synapticsmst_evb.quirk.
This file will not be installed by default (So EVB boards are only
functional when manually installed).
Although this is (currently) slower to flash with, bad behavior
and corner case scenarios such as these don't occur:
* Flickering during enumeration
* Monitor plugged in during enumeration but not during flash
* Heavy DP traffic slowing down update significantly
* Sandboxes without access to `/dev/drm_dp_auxY` unable to flash
* Exercising existing graphics driver bugs leading to system freezes.
Additionally this removes a lot of code in dell_dock that was put
in place specifically to be able to support waking up the MST hub
to try to use DP aux for flashing.
Now DP aux will only be used to flash when fwupd is compiled
without `dell_dock`.
It was identified that at least one other device on this shared
I2C bus can't operate at the speed. This means that it may
inadvertently respond to commands intended for another device.
Ensure the quirk object is set, and then add the GUIDs first so that the
version format can be set from a quirk file.
Additionally, only overwrite the fallback name if the name has not already been
set manually from a quirk.
The libxmlb library is much faster to query, and does not require the daemon
to parse the XML metadata at startup. It's a zero-copy mmap design that is more
modern and less clunky.
RSS has reduced from 3Mb (peak 3.61Mb) to 1Mb (peak 1.07Mb) and the startup
time has gone from 280ms to 250ms.
These are certainly bugs with one of the components, but if the situation
happens in the field the plugin needs to finish initialization to allow
upgrading to a fixed component.
We'll just fall back to the name in the quirk (Dell dock) in this case.
This plugin requires infrastructure introduced in fwupd 1.1.3
and can not be backported to earlier versions of fwupd.
It works together with the Synaptics and Thunderbolt plugins to
coordinate the proper flashing procedure for devices in this dock.
This allows a frontend to call update on an individual device ID which will
cause a CAB file to be downloaded, but then also re-use the same CAB file to
try to process devices with a relationship as part of a transaction.
The linker does not know which public symbol to call if a plugin calls it's own
symbol. Without this change one plugin could call into another plugin with the
wrong GsPluginData set -- which will probably explode in a ball of flames.
