Talos firmware management #14327

Description

@rothgar

Feature Request

Expose a talosctl upgrade-hardware to update firmware on supported devices.

Description

This will introduce a new controller and API surface that will update select hardware devices supported by the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS). The user experience will be similar to fwupdmgr but exposed directly as part of the Talos system and hook into the lifecycle management of machines (e.g. reboot when needed).

This will only be available for platform=metal systems.

Explicit non-goals is to add additional binaries or packages to the system. Where possible, the LVFS components will be written in go and standard linux kernel interfaces will be used for writing hardware devices (e.g. /dev/efi_capsule_loader).
