Richard Hughes bf00080d3f Move the file descriptor lifecycle into FuUdevDevice
This also means we can provide common 'safe' versions for plugins to use.
This makes a lot of plugins much simpler and we can delete a lot of code.

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.

Quirk use

This plugin uses the following plugin-specific quirks:

Quirk Description Minimum fwupd version
AtaTransferBlocks Blocks to transfer, or 0xffff for max 1.2.4
AtaTransferMode The transfer mode, 0x3, 0x7 or 0xe 1.2.4
