One of the proposed kernel fix affects kernels >= 4.19, but we don't
have tbt support plan on the affected AMD platforms then.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * AMD Yellow Carp provides integrated USB4 host controllers
   * When plugging in a Thunderbolt3 or USB4 device, users are unable to 
authorize it using the GUI due to an error message: "parent not authorized, 
deferring"

  [Test Plan]

   * Plug in USB4 device or TBT3 to AMD Yellow Carp host
   * Ensure that PCI topology has populated
   * Observe that /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/DEVICE/authorized is "0"
   * Try to run `boltctl enroll $UUID`

  [Where problems could occur]

   * Intel USB4 or TBT3 hosts also use bolt.  They could have a problem with 
the new version of bolt.
   * This is very unlikely however since there is a through test suite, and up 
until now the entire industry has been using bolt on Intel controllers for a 
long time.
   * There haven't been any significant bugs reported upstream or in Ubuntu 
since 0.9.1 release.

  [Other Info]
   * This bug also occurs on Intel controllers from ICL, TGL or ALD, but in 
many cases they are automatically authorized to an iommu DMA policy.
   * It is fixed in bolt 0.9.1 or later release.
   * To solve the SRU, will backport 0.9.1 release from Impish.
   * I did look into backporting just the commit(s) for fixing this, but it's 
not a trivial backport.  Quoting the changelog 
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/bolt/bolt/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md): 
"Additionally the unique_id of said host controller changes with every boot, 
which breaks one of the fundamental assumptions in boltd".
