I also have the same issue. By killing fwupd I was able to temporarily
stop the CPU usage. Manually restarting does not cause CPU usage to
spike up again. Attached is the output of fwupd after manually
restarting with,
> sudo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fwupd/fwupd -v
Here's my system info,
> sudo dmidecode | grep 'System Information' --after-context=10
