Updating device firmware on Linux

If you’re a hardware vendor reading this, I’d really like to help you get your firmware updates working on Linux. Using fwupd we can already update device firmware using UEFI capsules, and also update the various ColorHug devices. I’d love to increase the types of devices supported, so if you’re interested please let me know. Thanks!
