This will allow us to switch to the new firmware version during shutdown when the filesystems have been remounted readonly. Activating manually means we don't have to get the user to shutdown and then do a fresh power-on, rather than the more usual restart. |

ATA
Introduction
This plugin allows updating ATA/ATAPI storage hardware. Devices are enumerated from the block devices and if ID_ATA_DOWNLOAD_MICROCODE is supported they can be updated with appropriate firmware file.
Updating ATA devices is more dangerous than other hardware such as DFU or NVMe and should be tested carefully with the help of the drive vendor.
The device GUID is read from the trimmed model string.
Firmware Format
The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in an unspecified binary file format.
This plugin supports the following protocol ID:
- org.t13.ata
GUID Generation
These device use the Microsoft DeviceInstanceId values, e.g.
IDE\VENDOR[40]REVISION[8]IDE\0VENDOR[40]
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/identifiers-for-ide-devices for more details.
