All the non-Apple Thunderbolt products before "HotPlugSupportInD3" use
ACPI "assisted" hotplug which means all the PM is done in the BIOS.
Essentially it means the controller is only present if there is anything
connected and in that case it is always in D0. Unplugging the device
makes the controller to be hot-removed (ACPI hotplug) too and that's the
only way early Thunderbolt used to save energy.

Honestly, that feels wrong to me.

There are non-Apple products with Thunderbolt controllers,
e.g. Supermicro X10SAT was a Xeon board with Redwood Ridge
which was introduced in 2013.  This was way before Microsoft
came up with the HotPlugSupportInD3 property.  It was also way
before the 2015 BIOS cut-off date that we use to disable
power management on older boards.

Still, we currently whitelist the Thunderbolt ports on that
board for D3 because we know it works.  What if products like
this one use their own power management scheme and we'd cause
a power regression if we needlessly disable D3 for them now?

Thanks,

Lukas

For this, I'm not entirely sure this is what we want. The purpose of
this check is to enable port power management of Apple systems with
Intel Thunderbolt controller and therefore checking for "removable" here
is kind of misleading IMHO.

I wonder if we could instead remove the check completely here and rely
on the below:

if (platform_pci_bridge_d3(bridge))
return true;

and that would then look like:

static inline bool platform_pci_bridge_d3(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
if (pci_use_mid_pm())
return false;

if (acpi_pci_bridge_d3(dev))
return true;

if (device_property_read_bool(&dev->dev, "HotPlugSupportInD3"))
return true;

return false;
}

and then make a quirk in quirks.c that adds the software node property
for the Apple systems? Or something along those lines.

@Lukas, what do you think?
