Bug Description
Per OEM customer CPU microcode workflow, SBAT update and other bugs fixes, we need to SRU focal/fwupd to version 1.4.7.
[Impact]
* For new features, please check comment 10.
* For bug fixes, please check comment 11.
* There are two incident happened that make OEM customer's machines
un-bootable. Although there is a manually work-around and takes very
short time to re-sping another firmware version, it's still bad.
Per conclusion, customers want to en-roll firmware by themself.
And that needs this updated fwupd.
[Test Plan]
* find a machine and try to upgrade firmware, and confirm it works.
[Where problems could occur]
* Per OEM team past experience, we only saw one version display issue
along the way of upgrading fwupd, and never say any regression.
[Other Info]
* update fwupd have a new dependency on libjcat, that's tracked in lp:1920724
* This version also includes SBAT and it will be compatible with the
shim update with SBAT.
* fwupd snap is also used widely. The current fwupd is version 1.5.8.
version 1.4.7 branch are cherry-picked fixes for user report bug.
Given so, the risk of upgrading is pretty low.
[Steps]
1. upgrade libjcat/
2. MIR libjcat/focal to main.
3. SRU fwupd/focal from version 1.3.11-1~focal1 to 1.4.7-1~
