[Bug 1980334] Re: Support Quectel's modem(EM120/160) firmware update, fwupd

[Yuan-Chen Cheng]

As we are going to upload libxmlb 0.3.6-2build1~20.04.1.

Per quick check, gnome-firmware (universe) also depend on libxmlb1
(libxmlb 0.1.15-2ubuntu1~20.04.1).

One risk is that, if we upgrade libxmlb, it will be a transition of
libxmlb1 to libxmlb2.

It seems we will also need to re-build gnome-firmware.


** Description changed:

- The current fwupd packages in focal have to be rebuild with the latest
- 1.18.6 modem manager[1] in updates channel.
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * EM120/160 firmware update's fw can't get updated.
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+  * Use a machine with EM120/160 and test fw upgrade or reinstall.

  In the modem-manager plugin of fwupd, there are several version check
  macros to determine the version of modem-manager, for instance:
  
  https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/tree/plugins/modem-
  manager/fu-mm-device.c?h=ubuntu/focal-updates#n22
  
-     #if MM_CHECK_VERSION(1, 17, 2)
-     #include "fu-firehose-updater.h"
-     #endif
+     #if MM_CHECK_VERSION(1, 17, 2)
+     #include "fu-firehose-updater.h"
+     #endif
  
  If the version is equal to or newer than 1.17.2, fwupd will have
  different behaviors. And the previous version in Focal is 1.16.6 so we
  have to rebuild or do a version bump to make sure it compile with the
  new modem manager.
