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

Intel Management Engine

Introduction

This plugin is used to get the version number on the Intel Management Engine.

If AMT is enabled and provisioned and the AMT version is between 6.0 and 11.2, and you have not upgraded your firmware, you are vulnerable to CVE-2017-5689 and you should disable AMT in your system firmware.

This code is inspired by 'AMT status checker for Linux' by Matthew Garrett which can be found here: https://github.com/mjg59/mei-amt-check

That tool in turn is heavily based on mei-amt-version from samples/mei in the Linux source tree and copyright Intel Corporation.

GUID Generation

These devices use the existing GUID provided by the AMT host interface.
