[Bug 1908322] Re: Dell WD19 upgrade issue

[Mario Limonciello]

In the issue reported upstream it was concluded not to be a fwupd
problem, nor a WD19TB problem.  The same issue occurs trying to read the
NVM from the host.  So kernel issue TBT FW issue, or HW issue.

Bug description:
  I'm running 20.04 and got the alert there was a FW update pending, so
  I ran it but it's failing:

  I have also logged this against upstream fwupd, but haven't got
  anywhere as yet (good for reference though):
