Only the backup BMC device (which we ignore anyway...) can be updated
by specifying the target ID, the others need an *empty* array so that
XCC can work out what devices need to be processed.
Currently the SUCCESS state overrides reboot-needed, thus making the
devices considered for successive git-upgrades within same boot. The
change preserves the REBOOT_NEEDED state. It also added a missed
'changed' signal, which otherwise would skip updating the persistent
state.

Some distributions like RHEL change the default to not autoconnect
ethernet devices. This breaks connecting to the SMBIOS-defined BMC
adapter which means all the reads fail after a 60s timemout.
Autoconnect the internal USB ethernet adapter so we can use Redfish
without user action.
A series of changes are made to the powerd skeleton
plugin in order to reach two goals: ensuring that it handles cases correctly, given certain
information about the battery and/or certain return types and that it
successfully retrieves battery information from powerd to be used later.
Logic is then added to ensure updates are only performed
when that battery level is at or above the minimum threshold.
Then logic is added that checks if the device being updating requires
AC power. Along with this, specific
error statements are added for each scenario where an update is blocked.
To address the next goal, within fu_plugin_startup(), a GDBus connection
is established. However, instead of a direct connection to
powerd, the connection is changed to link to the general system bus with
g_bus_get_sync(). From there, a proxy is created to represent the
connection to powerd. A test call is made for the name of the service that the
proxy represents to check for successful communication.
Then, in fu_plugin_update_prepare(), the existing proxy is called and in the call,
the "GetBatteryState" is passed to make a method call method. The
response is filled into a GVariant, whose entries are initialized in new variables to use
for battery checks. And checks are added to make sure every step was
successful.
This CL creates a mostly empty fu-plugin-powerd.c that
has the file disable itself on startup with an error.
The README.md file was re-created to include information on
powerd and the specific interface it will use.
A meson.build file re-created to call fu-plugin-powerd.c.
It excludes a .conf install function was removed to be consistent with
an upstream change.
The general meson.build file includes the
powerd subdirectory for powerd to compile.
No .quirk file was included. There will be general daemon.quirk file for all plugins.
FIXUP: Adjusted copyright format and whitespace in fu-plugin-powerd.c
and plugin returns false on startup. Also added to "fu-plugin-powerd.so"
entry fwupd.spec.in.
The benefit of using the proxy device is that we can 'use' the proxy
device for device access, but 'report' the progress on the passed
FuDevice instance.
This means the front-end reports the device status correctly when
updating composite devices that us proxies.
The comment always said we should move it to the daemon if another
plugin started doing this, and that is now.
I assume at some point we forgot to remove it when converting an object
from FINAL to DERIVABLE and the anti-pattern just got copied around the
codebase...
The "return error and hope the client resubmits the firmware again"
pattern is clunky. There are two plugins doing this now, and about to
be one more.
This adds FwupdRequest which provides a structured way of asking the
user to perform an action, e.g. to replug the device or to press a
special key or button.
This replaces much of the UpdateMessage and UpdateImage API although
it is still used internally. Clients capable of processing the new
DeviceRequest signal should add REQUESTS to their feature flags.
Also, this allows us go back to the old meaning of _NEEDS_BOOTLOADER,
which was "needs rebooting into a bootloader mode" rather than the
slightly weird "user needs to do something and resubmit request".
The move to query sysattr for the name inadvertly changed the extent of
devices accepted by emmc probe. udev rules setup ID_NAME only for main
block device, but not for rpmb or boot, while 'name' sysattr is present
for all of them for they point to the same parent. The original check
for name was brittle either way and relied on a side effect of udev
subsystem. This CL introdues a proper filtering check that picks up only
the main devices. That is important because an attempt to perfrom an
update not on the main device returns a cryptic timeout error.

At this point it has to be present, but better have the check for
correctness sake.

/run/udev/data/b* location of eMMC devices appears to be inaccessible
early on in the boot process which makes fwupd to skip eMMC devices if
the daemon started too early. ID_NAME udev attribute is effectively
copied from the sysfs attribute [1], thus making use of it is more
reliable.
