Old branches like fido have fixes dependencies in DEPENDS. I have
implemented in b794e0ef8adccaa70b05463d52d3fd49f0917bb6 a way to add
DEPENDS checking defconfig, and dropping what is not required.

You can drop u-boot-fw-utils from DEPENDS in your custom meta-swupdate
or try applying (I have not tested on fido) the mentioned commit, and if
it works, we can merge it also in this old "fido".

Best regards,
