It's actually quite hard to build a front-end for fwupd at the moment
as you're never sure when the progress bar is going to zip back to 0%
and start all over again. Some plugins go 0..100% for write, others
go 0..100% for erase, then again for write, then *again* for verify.
By creating a helper object we can easily split up the progress of the
specific task, e.g. write_firmware().
We can encode at the plugin level "the erase takes 50% of the time, the
write takes 40% and the read takes 10%". This means we can have a
progressbar which goes up just once at a consistent speed.
This indicates the GUID in some way contributed to the result decided.
It also allows us to match the submitted HSI results back to a firmware
stream on the LVFS, which allows us to allow vendors to see a subset of
results for uploaded devices.
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...
There are now multiple plugins using drm_dp_aux_dev interface which
may potentially be combined with an amdgpu. Prevent exercising this
interface with any plugin using DP aux unless a new enough kernel is
installed.
The CustomFlags feature is a bit of a hack where we just join the flags
and store in the device metadata section as a string. This makes it
inefficient to check if just one flag exists as we have to split the
string to a temporary array each time.
Rather than adding to the hack by splitting, appending (if not exists)
then joining again, store the flags in the plugin privdata directly.
This allows us to support negating custom properties (e.g. ~hint) and
also allows quirks to append custom values without duplicating them on
each GUID match, e.g.
[USB\VID_17EF&PID_307F]
Plugin = customflag1
[USB\VID_17EF&PID_307F&HUB_0002]
Flags = customflag2
...would result in customflag1,customflag2 which is the same as you'd
get from an enumerated device flag doing the same thing.
Until gi-docgen is declared stable support either of them.
This effectively means that hand builds and CI builds will use
gi-docgen, but distro builds use gtk-doc-tools.
Add the IFD regions as child devices and set the region access on the child
devices. Also add read-only SPI descriptor as an HSI attribute and require
FLOCKDN on Intel hardware.
Use the hidden PCI 00:1f.5 device to set the SPIBAR automatically and generate
the quirk file automatically to support more hardware.
