** Description changed:
[Impact]
fwupd will fail to install firmware where the firmware has a vendor-id but
the device does not have one set. The vendor-id is currently optional but in
about 6 months time it will be required. In this case devices that can't store
vendor-ids will not be able to install firmware. There is an upstream fix to
skip this check if the device doesn't have vendor IDs.
https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/commit/d5f965da2f8847e494e5c2a25a123bb8c31c7850
[Test Case]
+ There's not a specific test case for this, as no firmware currently meets
this requirement. Thus the only test is that you can still successfully install
firmware. Future firmware will trigger this case.
[Regression Potential]
Change is simple and unlikely to introduce a significant bug. This will cause
a behaviour change, but it is done by the upstream maintainer and intentional.
