This is intended for devices that it is not safe to immediately activate
the firmware. It may be called at a more convenient time instead.
Both fwupdmgr and fwupdtool support the feature.
- if called at runtime with fwupdmgr it uses the daemon
- during shutdown fwupdtool uses the pending.db to perform this feature.
The unifying version numbers are of the form 'RQR24.00_B0000' which means we
have to force the plugin to 'plain' version format to avoid stripping out the
non-semver chars.

This also allows us to write mixed-endian structures and adds tests. As part of
this commit we've also changed the API of something that's not yet been in any
tarball release, so no pitchforks please.
This allows hardware from OEMs to *not* match generic firmware supplied by the
device manufacturer. The idea being, that the OEM will supply firmware that
will actually work on the device.
Based on a patch from Mario Limonciello, many thanks.
This makes it much easier to write metainfo files as we don't have to ask OEMs
or ODMs to run fwupdtool or fwupd with --verbose and then sort through hundreds
of debugging statements.
The fwupdmgr get-devices output also now prints output like this:
20EQS64N0C System Firmware
Guid: ddc0ee61-e7f0-4e7d-acc5-c070a398838e
Guid: 40ce5954-bfa8-5762-926b-f4848cb28bc8 <- UEFI\RES_{DDC0EE61-E7F0-4E7D-ACC5-C070A398838E}
We're deliberately not showing the InstanceId lines in the get-updates command
as the instance IDs are not useful in this case. It will also only show the
InstanceID lines when run as a trusted user, for instance root.
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).
The setup() is the counterpart to probe(), the difference being the former needs
the device open and the latter does not.
This allows objects that derive from FuDevice, and use FuDeviceLocker to use
open() and close() without worrying about the performance implications of
probing the hardware, i.e. open() now simply opens a file or device.
Probe is supposed to be used to check things like the VID and PID, and to
optionally add extra GUIDs to the device. Crucially, it doesn't require open()
to operate, and so it's wrong to reprobe() on calling close().
Commit 0f72ef2f88 causes probe to be re-run on FuDevices.
Any devices derived from FuUsbDevice that set the "Name" key will have the
quirks re-evaluated when GUIDs are added again leading to warnings like this:
```
(fwupdtool:8259): Fu-WARNING **: 23:04:43.144: device 970e85c8400ed95ec5c02b86e52a0ca4ce6fc051 overwriting same name value: Dell USB hub
```
These are GUIDs that are related to the main device, but should not be used for
quirk matching. For instance, we might want to list the GUIDs for a bootloader
mode, but we don't want to import all the quirks for the bootloader when in the
runtime mode.
Rather than guessing the keys that might be present, and doing two hash lookups
for each, get the key values in one call. This is somewhat more performant, and
allows us to do clever things in the future.
