At the moment plugins are doing this a few different ways; either looping
through the HwIds manually (e.g. flashrom) or setting a custom flag that is
checked in fu_plugin_setup (e.g. uefi-recovery).
Define a standard 'Plugin' HwId quirk to simplify plugins.
When this is done, include:
* Including the hash
* Including anything that is not ABI stable in plugins yet

The coreboot plugin never actually gained the ability to write. As it stands a
coreboot system now adds *two* system-firmware devices (from both flashrom and
coreboot) which isn't ideal.
Just allow flashrom to enumerate quirked devices and add coreboot-specific
metadata as required. If we require some kind of cbfs parsing then we can do
that in FuFlashromDevice->prepare_firmware().
I was asked the other day how many machines would support a /dev/mem mmap'd
update mechanism, and I had to say that I didn't know. We use direct port IO in
the SuperIO plugin too, and it would be good to know how quickly we need to
port this to something else.
That giant uint64_t isn't looking so big now, and we'll want to add even more
to it in the future. Split out some private flags that are never useful to the
client, although the #defines will have to remain until we break API again.
Asking the user for the UID mapping isn't working very well, as it requires lots
of manual handholding. It also doesn't work very well when the device vendor
does not actually have a PCI ID or if the vendor has split into two entities.
Just use the OUI address as an additional VendorID and match any of the device
IDs against any of the metadata-supplied values.
If we say that the version format should be the same for the `version_lowest`
and the `version_bootloader` then it does not always make sense to set it at
the same time.
Moving the `version_format` to a standalone first-class property also means it
can be typically be set in the custom device `_init()` function, which means we
don't need to worry about *changing* ther version format as set by the USB and
UDev superclass helpers.
Some plugins have devices with more than one protocol. Logically the protocol
belongs to the device, not the plugin, and in the future we could use this to
further check firmware that's about to be deployed.
This is also not exported into libfwupd (yet?) as it's remains a debug-feature
only -- protocols are not actually required for devices to be added.
I'm not 100% sure calling flashrom_programmer_init('internal') unconditionally
on every platform is a very good idea. Only probe the hardware if there is a
whitelisted supported device.

This also means we now include a flashrom subproject as no distro currently has
a flashrom new enough to build the plugin.

This leads to madness, as some formats are supersets of the detected types,
e.g. 'intel-me' is detected as 'quad' and 'bcd' is detected as 'pair'.
Where the version format is defined in a specification or hardcoded in the
source use a hardcoded enum value, otherwise use a quirk override.
Additionally, warn if the version does not match the defined version format
In some situations SELinux prevents fwupd from executing tpm2_pcrlist, but the
failure mode is that the process just hangs and never completes. This causes
systemd to time out the fwupd daemon startup and then errors to be shown in
GNOME Software.
To prevent this happening, add an optional timeout argument to
fu_common_spawn_sync() and cancel the subprocess if it takes longer than this
to complete.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1665701 for details.
Future metadata from the LVFS will set the protocol the firmware is expected to
use. As vendors love to re-use common terms like DFU for incompatible protocols,
namespace them with the controlling company ID with an approximate reverse DNS
namespace.
This also allows more than one plugin to define support for the same protocol,
for instance rts54hid+rts54hub and synapticsmst+dell-dock.
This was compiling and passing CI as the un-implemented legacy functionality
was still exported in the header.
Remove the prototypes for the missing symbols and fix up the plugin.
