The P14s G3 and T14 G3 share the same BIOS Firmware (along with the T16/P16s).
This is just a case of the FW team missing the name out of the title - I'll let them know as it looks like they've done it for all the updates for this platform (for my reference - LO-2246)

Is there a reason for the version difference (1.32 on lenovo.com compared to 0.1.38 reported by fwupd)?
That is weird....I don't know why and will have to ask the FW team who are away for Chinese New Year this week. I can ask why when they return....it's peculiar.
Hi @jluebbe - they confirmed we are adding P14s to the platform list for the next version.
For the version numbers - apparently this was a mistake with the version numbers and I've not completely understood how they did it, but by mixing up decimal and hex they accidentally skipped 7 versions in LVFS... I'm confirming how they will fix this. Sigh.
Should all be fixed now. Let me know if any questions; and thanks for flagging this.

Hmm, should this be fixed for the currently available firmware? Or only for the next release?

So I now additionally see a FW update for the embedded controller, but both updates still use the 0.* versions and don't mention my model (P14s Gen 3 AMD).
I'm sorry - I managed to mixup the Intel and the AMD platforms. This issue is still open :(
The fixed version is up there - but still under embargo....checking on the ETA for that to be moved to stable.
@mrhpearson Do you have any news on this issue?
Looks like they've been having some issues with the releases - there is activity on LVFS and the latest version was uploaded last week, but is under embargo still. I've asked for an update on when it will be released
It seems there have been some releases in the meantime, but there is still a version mismatch:
├─ThinkPad T14/P14s Gen 3 T16/P16s Gen 1 AMD:
│ New version: 0.1.41

While this is referred to 0.1.41
here, https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/r23uj66wd.txt has this change description for <R23UJ65WD> UEFI: 1.35 / ECP: 1.25
, issued on 2023/04/06 instead of 2021-07-13. So something is still very wrong here.
The description seems better now:
- Summary: Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 T16/P16s Gen 1 AMD System Firmware
+ Summary: Lenovo ThinkPad T14/P14s Gen 3 T16/P16s Gen 1 AMD System Firmware
I believe they're 'stuck' on the versioning because of the original error. They can't go back to an older version number because it would really mess things up so I believe they've just decided to roll with it (which is confusing). I was hoping they'd skip a whole bunch so that everything synced up...I'll ask if they can do that for the next round.
Perhaps they could just drop the 0. prefix, which is also confusing on its own. :-)
Is there any news on this issue? Currently, no firmware update is offered, although I've not updated the FW so far.

I'm having to refresh my memory as this has been a while..
72W (which is being labelled as 1.48 on LVFS) is up but under embargo. I need to check why it hasn't been released, but I know the AMD platforms have had some issues recently so it might be delayed 70W (1.46) is released to stable. If you're on an older version than that let me know...

Ah, thanks. It seems that even after fwupdmgr refresh --force
it needed some time to recognize the available updates.
I now see:

This mentions 0.1.46 (not 1.46 as you said or 1.40 as the current lenovo website offers), which is confusing. Also, does the Created: 2021-07-13
indicate that this is something else?
How does one match the LVFS releases to the ones directly from Lenovo?
From time to time,
fwupdmgr get-upgrades
displays an update which seems to be for a different product. It's not always displayed, but I've seen it several times by now:According to dmidecode, I'm currently using:
This matches the previous version listed on https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds557681-bios-update-utility-bootable-cd-for-windows-10-64-bit-thinkpad-t14-gen-3-type-21cf-21cg-t16-gen-1-type-21ch-21cj-p16s-gen-1type-21ck-21cl. According to that page, the correct update would be to 1.32.
Compared to the Lenovo page, the update offered by fwupd has a different device name and a different version. What's going on here?
