I'm not the most qualified to speak to this point, but I'm not sure that just
because rpm-ostree uses libdnf
under the hood this will automatically just work. I suspect that it won't work.
Probably for those variants
we'd just need to include the `linux-firmware-all` package (or whatever equivalent to
get what we currently have).
Or could the plugin be used to create rpm-ostree layers with the
necessary firmware packages?
