Is it easy for users to update BIOS? I.e. does
fwupdmgr update work?

Or does it require flashing special USB drives with FAT filesystems...?

Because I'm not sure all users will do that. Or even be aware that
they should. In that case detecting the situation and emitting
a dev_err() telling the user to update their BIOS would be
desirable I think?
