[Bug 1973598] [NEW] mtd-self-test failure on arm64 (mtdram module)

[Lukas Märdian]

Public bug reported:

version 1.7.7-1 of fwupd introduced a new "mtd-self-test" which fails
the autopkgtest on ubuntu/kinetic/arm64. (https://salsa.debian.org/efi-
team/fwupd/-/commit/4d65d2014945e2e4f55a3192bf0f50beb68b1e3b)

The "mtd" test is skipped on almost all other setups (e.g. all of Debian
CI and all Ubuntu architectures, but arm64), due to missing the
/devices/virtual/mtd/mtd0 device, supposed to be provided by the
"mtdram" kernel module.

On arm64 a "mtd0" device exists and makes the "mtd" tests fail. We could
skip the "mtd-self-test", as they've never been run before (thus not a
regression), or find some way to properly run the MTD tests.

** Affects: fwupd (Ubuntu)
