Hi Team, I try to build this module using the command "make -C /lib/modules/4.13.0-46-generic/build M=$(pwd)" and the result as below, could you help to reply how to build this module.

make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.13.0-46-generic'
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 0 modules
make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.13.0-46-generic'

This isn't a kernel module, you shouldn't build with a kernel build command.

See https://github.com/rhboot/fwupdate/blob/master/README.md for compilation instructions
