The LVFS is a free service that operates as an independent legal entity and has no connection with CentOS Linux. Your distributor may not have verified any of the firmware updates for compatibility with your system or connected devices. All firmware is provided only by the original equipment manufacturer.

Enabling this functionality is done at your own risk, which means you have to contact your original equipment manufacturer regarding any problems caused by these updates. Only problems with the update process itself should be filed at https://bugs.centos.org/.

Based on the discussion in the RH Bug Tracker for EL8[1], I suspect that this error relates to the firmware package from the hardware vendor and not fwupdmgr.
