IIUC, fwupd not only receives firmware updates, it also sends the 
firmware to the device (installing it). While Guix supports installing 
software, I don't think it supports installing firmware in specific (at 
least, not yet). And to extend Guix with support for installing 
firmware, I expect it would use a tool like fwupd to actually send the 
updated firmware to the hardware.

Greetings,
Maxime.
