Mika Westerberg 314a8c76e5 thunderbolt: Add comment explaining return value of read_drom_entry_location ()
During review it was pointed out that the return value of
read_drom_entry_location () should be documented because it also returns
TRUE when an entry was not found from the DROM. Caller needs to look for
the location->offset in that case. Add a comment explaining this.

Adding a new plugin

An extensible architecture allows for providing new plugin types (for reading and writing different firmware) as well as ways quirk their behavior.

You can find more information about the architecture in the developers section of the fwupd website.

If you have a firmware specification and would like to see support in this project, please file an issue and share the spec. Patches are also welcome.

Plugin interaction

Some plugins may be able to influence the behavior of other plugins. This includes things like one plugin turning on a device, or providing missing metadata to another plugin.

The ABI for these interactions is defined in: https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/blob/master/src/fu-device-metadata.h

All interactions between plugins should have the interface defined in that file.
