Title:
  Firmware update hangs on Thinkpad T470

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I tried to upgrade my firmware today because several security updates
  are available, and after 4 hours my ThinkPad T470 was still stuck on
  the "Installing new firmware..." screen with a spinning line and no
  progress bar. I unplugged it and had to wait for the battery to die to
  stop it.

  After plugging it in again it booted normally.

  I tried to find a way to report bugs to LVFS, but I couldn't find
  anywhere to do that on their site. Sorry if this is the wrong place
  for this bug.

  I've pasted fwupdmgr output below:

  % fwupdmgr get-updates
  • Thunderbolt Controller has the latest available firmware version
  • Crucial CT525MX300SSD1 has no available firmware updates
  • System Firmware has the latest available firmware version
  • UEFI Device Firmware has the latest available firmware version
