Newer versions of fwupd seems to automatically terminate itself, when idling for more than two hours. This causes the openrc init script to display the status "crashed".

It seems that there is the config option IdleTimeout in /etc/fwupd/daemon.conf. If this is set to 0, there is no idle. However, it might be better to just install the provided dbus service, which starts the daemon on demand: https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/blob/master/data/org.freedesktop.fwupd.service.in The dbus service is not installed by the ebuild.

Well, according to the build system, this file only gets built/installed when the "systemd" USE flag is enabled. So this is no solution for openrc users.
