Saving the quirks in the GResource section worked well, but it made the build system very complicated and also meant the .data section was duplicated in both `fwupd` and `fwupdtool` -- negating a lot of the hard-fought savings. Simplify this feature so that we just `cat` all the quirk files together, then gzip them into a single file. This means that at startup fwupd only needs to check the mtime of one file, and weirdly it's actually faster to load a smaller compressed file from disk that it is to load multiple uncompressed files. |

Intel USB4
Introduction
This plugin supports the Goshen Ridge hardware which is a USB-4 controller from Intel. These devices can updated using multiple interfaces, but this plugin only uses the XHCI interface.
Firmware Format
The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in an unspecified binary file format, with vendor specific header.
This plugin supports the following protocol ID:
- com.intel.thunderbolt
GUID Generation
These devices use a custom generation scheme, which is quite intentionally identical to thunderbolt plugin:
TBT-{nvm_vendor_id}{nvm_product_id}
Update Behavior
By default the USB4 controller will reboot at the end of the update.
Some devices (e.g. inside some Dell docks) will instead be updated the next time the USB-C plug from the dock is unplugged from the host, or when activated manually.
Vendor ID Security
The vendor ID is set from the USB vendor, in this instance set to USB:0x8087
External Interface Access
This plugin requires read/write access to /dev/bus/usb.
