Can someone ELI5 what that means for me as an AMD GPU Linux user?
Is this in any way related to the firmware files that I get with the kernel which get direct-loaded on boot when the amdgpu module is loaded?
fwupd is an easy way for firmware updates to be distributed and applied, this is for flashing the chips on the card not drivers loaded in the kernel
I use fwupd to update the bios on my Dell laptop for example
