Ideally our firmware-updater GUI would disable itself if TPM backed FDE is detected and firmware updates are not supported. But given the the firmware-updater is a strictly confined snap I'm unaware of a mechanism for it to tell if TPM backed FDE is in use. Additionally, fwdup is also on the system so a user can still attempt an update from the CLI.

I think a complete solution here is to support firmware updates with TPM-backed FDE and if there's a straightforward mechanism, then disable updates on tpm backed fde machines.
