Currently ICL shows up like this: ``` ├─Unknown Device: │ Device ID: d066959bf1b0da600f4fcaab5aa31cab3ff05eee │ Summary: Unmatched performance for high-speed I/O │ Current version: 71.00 │ Update Error: Missing non-active nvmem │ Flags: internal|require-ac|registered │ GUID: e72e778e-94f7-5ed2-b560-1c1262ee217c ``` Which isn't very useful to end users. Instead show the generic name `Thunderbolt Controller` which matches the behavior change we've made in UEFI FW and Touchpad FW items too. ``` ├─Thunderbolt Controller: │ Device ID: d066959bf1b0da600f4fcaab5aa31cab3ff05eee │ Summary: Unmatched performance for high-speed I/O │ Current version: 71.00 │ Update Error: Missing non-active nvmem │ Flags: internal|require-ac|registered │ GUID: e72e778e-94f7-5ed2-b560-1c1262ee217c ``` Also, quite the messages about missing vid/did as these won't exist on ICL either. |

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.
You can use the fwupd developer documentation to assist with APIs available to write the plugin.
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.
We will not accept plugins that upgrade hardware using a proprietary Linux executable, proprietary UEFI executable, proprietary library, or DBus interface.
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/fwupd/fwupd/blob/master/src/fu-device-metadata.h
All interactions between plugins should have the interface defined in that file.
