It describes the hardware platform. From a fwupd perspective I don't
mind if the BC attributes are read from securityfs, sysfs or even read
from an offset in a file from /proc... I guess sysfs makes sense if
securityfs is defined for things like the LSM or lockdown status,
although I also thought sysfs was for devices *in* the platform, not
the platform itself. I guess exposing the platform registers in sysfs
is no more weird than exposing things like the mei device and rfkill.
