Richard Hughes 5079f26f0e Never guess the version format from the version string 
This leads to madness, as some formats are supersets of the detected types,
e.g. 'intel-me' is detected as 'quad' and 'bcd' is detected as 'pair'.

Where the version format is defined in a specification or hardcoded in the
source use a hardcoded enum value, otherwise use a quirk override.

Additionally, warn if the version does not match the defined version format

Dell ESRT Support

Introduction

This allows enabling the BIOS setup option for UEFI capsule updates without manually going into BIOS setup.

GUID Generation

These device uses a hardcoded GUID of 2d47f29b-83a2-4f31-a2e8-63474f4d4c2e.

Build Requirements

For Dell support you will need libsmbios_c version 2.4.0 or later.

If you don't want or need this functionality you can use the -Dplugin_dell=false option.

Devices powered by the Dell Plugin

The Dell ESRT plugin allows the user to enable the UpdateCapsule functionality at runtime. A reboot will be required and the BIOS administrator password must not be set.

Machines that offer this functionality will display an extra device in # fwupdmgr get-devices output.

Example:
