(resending in plain text) (please CC me on replies, I am not on LKML) Hi,
I have a new Mac Mini (MacMini7,1). This model supports hotplugging of Thunderbolt on Windows 8 and above. Unfortunately hotplug does not seem to be working for me under Linux. I get the default behavior of devices only working if plugged in during boot. Also, the changes made to support Darwin for _OSI seems to make it impossible to override. This makes it hard to test if the ACPI support for Windows 2012 will just work on Linux. I have not built a kernel yet with Darwin _OSI patched out. Any ideas? I think there are 2 ways forward: 1. Fix the thunderbolt code to work with this new Mac. 2. Limit the Darwin _OSI response to a whitelisted set of Mac machines. It seems like new Macs going forward may work best with the standard Windows 2012 response. I don't know if this method would have advantages over #1. The obvious change might be chained hotplugging support. I don't have a chained device to test.
