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.
It wasn't hugely clear what the platform ID was actually meant to represent. In
some cases it was being used like a physical ID, in others it was a logical ID,
and in others it was both. In some cases it was even used as a sysfs path.
Clear up all the confusion by splitting the platform ID into two parts, an
optional *physical* ID to represent the electrical connection, and an optional
*logical* ID to disambiguate composite devices with the same physical ID.
Also create an explicit sysfs_path getter for FuUdevDevice to make this clear.
This allows WAIT_FOR_REPLUG to always work, rather than depending on the order
that the GUIDs were added, and that the kernel would always return the same
sysfs path (which it doesn't have to do, especially for hidraw devices).
If another plugin causes a Synaptics MST device to be removed, it
also needs to be removed from the cache to prevent problems when
the device is re-probed.
This flag is intended for devices that the restart procedure will
be performed as part of a transactional update by an external
controller.
None of the currently supported devices need this flag.
- Split up `synapticsmst_device_write_firmware` to smaller more manageable
chunks
- Use `FuDeviceLocker` to ensure that device is in a known state after
update is complete (both in success or failure scenarios)
- Retry the write process up to 10 times in case of DPCD update failures
- Wait for flash clear to settle before writing to EEPROM/SPI
As seen by recent testing this is not working every time.
Since e6cda81f we're now building GUIDs that represent all the possibilities
for shared parts so it's not important to set dock type.
If the dock information is available then show that in the device name
and restrict the GUIDs created.
If it's not available, then just create GUIDs for all known docks
Rather then always assuming open() fails because of permission denied,
generate the GError code from the errno and add the related strerror to
the message. And ofcourse output the error message in debugging rather
then just ignoring it.

The type of Dell dock gets used in the device GUID, so make that
mandatory for device enumeration to succeed. Only relying on the
synapticsmst plugin to be cold plugged after the dell plugin isn't
enough to ensure this.

4a036018 broke the callback progress by putting the wrong device type in.
23:34:11:0715 GLib-GObject invalid cast from 'SynapticsMSTDevice' to 'FuDevice'
23:34:11:0715 Fu fu_device_set_progress: assertion 'FU_IS_DEVICE (device)' failed
b6f79556 caused the device ID strings to change, which synaptics
MST plugin was relying upon.
Update to use metadata instead to communicate this information.
This makes more sense; we're updating the device, not the plugin itself.
This also means we don't need to funnel everything through callbacks like
GFileProgressCallback and we can also update the state without adding an
explicit callback to each derived device type.
This allows us to show the devices in a GUI with a nice icon. Some of the icon
mappings are not perfect and I'll be asking the GNOME designers for some
additions to the icon specification.
Custom vendor icons can also be specified, and /usr/share/fwupd/icons would be
a good place to put them. If vendor icons are used they should show a physical
device with the branding, rather than just the vendor logo.
This is to help break the dependence on the Dell plugin during
initalization.
NOTE: there are corner cases that this plugin will no longer
detect Dell systems now, but these are expected to be rare.
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.
Although WD15 and TB16 share a same payload today, this may not
be the case some day in the future. Use the fu-dell-common method
to determine the dock in use to build the GUID.
