** Description changed:

  need focal/fwupd 1.5.11 to support this
  
  Ref: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/releases/tag/1.5.11
  
  Note: this version shall work well with shim with sbat.
  Note: for focal, we also need to upgrade jcat to make it work.
+ 
+ 
+ [Impact] 
+ 
+  * We need to support Dell USB4 Dock and based on the fwupd design,
+    need to upgrade the version to support it.
+ 
+  * This new version will also enable certain vendors to upgrade 
+    intel-microcode by fwupd. Some security updates of intel-microcode
+    does introduce regresssion because it's not tested across enough
+    CPU family. Vendors can do more tests give they have access to
+    those machines and have access to those new microcodes with
+    security patches.
+ 
+  * Will follow the new policy to do this SRU exception.
+    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+  * Full standard verification test listed in
+    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates
+  * Will also invite the component vendor to test the new supported
+    docking when the new fwupd exists in the proposed channel.
+    They already started to use the one in my ppa on focal given
+    LTS release is the HWE project target.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+  * If it passed the verification procedure in the policy, I believe
+    it shall already cover most cases.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * This suppose to fix several bugs. OEM team will try to test
+    those along the way.
