[Bug 1884387] [NEW] fwupdmgr file read error on RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller

[William Dietrich]

Public bug reported:

sudo fwupdmgr verify [DEVICEID]

gives

failed to verify RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller: failed
to read firmware: Error reading from file: Input/output error

Is there some file-permission error in the system, or the fwupd
definition for this device is wrong, or something ?  The device is not
updatable according to fwupdmgr; maybe that is causing the error ?
