For all firmware, this checks the size of the firmware if limits have been set using fu_device_set_firmware_size_min(), fu_device_set_firmware_size_max() or using a quirk entry.

Available since:1.1.2

 The data is owned by the caller of the function.
flags FwupdInstallFlags
 

Install flags, e.g. FWUPD_INSTALL_FLAG_FORCE.

error GError **

Return value

Returns: FuFirmware
 

A new GBytes, or NULL for error.
