Ultimately being supported and the vendor actually bothering to
publish the firmware updates is two different things, I see this in
linux-firmware too WRT to in particular the various wireless driver
firmware.

From the NVME PoV the firmware update process is standardised as part
of the NVME spec, in most cases I have found, and I've tried a few
different vendors, you can use fwupdmgr to apply the updates from the
vendor's update zip file.

I blogged about it here:
