Not grokking the connection? More information in https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/commit/75b965d01d80d70ae51816acd4d4cafdaf792e99 -- in the case of MST it's where a fake monitor gets created on the hardware so the chip can wake up enough to tell us the current firmware version, but the fake monitor causes a flicker for a couple of reasons. I guess we could always just cache the last known version in some database somewhere and just assume it's not changed, but if we're not "alive" to see the device removal/insertion event we don't know the true state of the hardware. If you're worried about the startup speed or memory usage, we've been pretty keenly fixing both, but if you have any specific concerns let me know.
