Public bug reported:
This was previously reported here:
https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer/issues/2371
But I think that bug report and those posted in other projects don't seem to be
getting attention.
With the new TPM-backed FDE storage layout for Ubuntu 24.04, it is
seemingly impossible to perform firmware updates using fwupd.
Attempting to upgrade the firmware with `fwupdmgr upgrade XXXXXX` gives
the attached error message.
