Bug description:
  In fwupd, a few of USB devices are not closed when there are some
  failures of operations. This issue will cause fwupd has some orphan
  USB nodes inside during fwupd is running. A orphan USB node might
  introduce memory leak and block some runtime power features as well.

  I proposed a upstream PR, and also put the link here.
