Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * On Dell Dock, flashing the Dell provided DFU firmware cab file

   * Try to get the device information by $ fwupdmgr get-devices

   * The Dell RMM firmware will show "failed after 10 retries: failed to
  SetReport: transfer timed out"

  [ Test Plan ]

   * On Dell machine which supports TBT

   * Connect to Dell dock that utilizes dell-kestrel plugin to update
  the Dock firmware

   * run command "sudo fwupdmgr install <DFU firmware>.cab --allow-
  reinstall"

   * if the test cab is missing signature, below message will pop-up
     firmware signature missing or not trusted; set OnlyTrusted=false in /etc/fwupd/fwupd.conf
     ONLY if you are a firmware developer

   * run command "fwupdmgr get-devices" can get correct firmware version

  Additionally, the standard testing under “QA Process” from
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates will be followed.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * The SRU requires the version bump to 1.9.29 by leveraging the exception document
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/firmware-updates
