In 1de7cc we checked the version format when checking for update, but there are many other places that are doing verfmt-insensitive comparisons. For instance, the predicates in <requires> all fail if the device version format is plain. his breaks updating some NVMe drives where the `ne` requirements are not semantic versions. To avoid trying to catch all the bugs in different places, and in case we have a future verfmt that should be treated another way, refactor this out in to a common function and deprecate the old function. |

ModemManager
Introduction
This plugin adds support for devices managed by ModemManager.
GUID Generation
These device use the ModemManager "Firmware Device IDs" as the GUID, e.g.
USB\VID_413C&PID_81D7&REV_0318&CARRIER_VODAFONEUSB\VID_413C&PID_81D7&REV_0318USB\VID_413C&PID_81D7USB\VID_413C
Vendor ID Security
The vendor ID is set from the USB vendor, for example USB:0x413C
Update method: fastboot
If the device supports the 'fastboot' update method, it must also report which AT command should be used to trigger the modem reboot into fastboot mode.
Once the device is in fastboot mode, the firmware upgrade process will happen as defined e.g. in the 'flashfile.xml' file. Every file included in the CAB that is not listed in the associated 'flashfile.xml' will be totally ignored during the fastboot upgrade procedure.
Update method: qmi-pdc
If the device supports the 'qmi-pdc' update method, the contents of the CAB file should include files named as 'mcfg.*.mbn' which will be treated as MCFG configuration files to download into the device using the Persistent Device Configuration QMI service.
If a device supports both 'fastboot' and 'qmi-pdc' methods, the fastboot operation will always be run before the QMI operation, so that e.g. the full partition where the MCFG files are stored can be wiped out before installing the new ones.
