Bug Description
Please verify whether MITIGATION_GDS should still be set to n. There is some background in LP: #2077145
I noticed that there is a commit in 6.12 that says "the intent is to support configurations and scenarios where the mitigations code is irrelevant"

Other Info
==========
The fact that Ubuntu 25.04 is not applying GDS mitigation (on Intel) can be seen in gnome-control-
Settings > Privacy & Security > Device Security
This is basically a GUI version of
$ fwupdmgr security
or
$ fwupdmgr security --all
which reports
✘ Intel GDS mitigation: Disabled: https:/
