Detect on probe whether a PCI device is part of a Thunderbolt controller.
Intel uses a Vendor-Specific Extended Capability (VSEC) with ID 0x1234
on such devices. Detect presence of this VSEC and cache it in a newly
added is_thunderbolt bit in struct pci_dev.
Also, add a helper to check whether a given PCI device is situated on a
Thunderbolt daisy chain (i.e., below a PCI device with is_thunderbolt
set).
The necessity arises from the following:
* If an external Thunderbolt GPU is connected to a dual GPU laptop,
that GPU is currently registered with vga_switcheroo even though it
can neither drive the laptop's panel nor be powered off by the
platform. To vga_switcheroo it will appear as if two discrete
GPUs are present. As a result, when the external GPU is runtime
suspended, vga_switcheroo will cut power to the internal discrete GPU
which may not be runtime suspended at all at this moment. The
solution is to not register external GPUs with vga_switcheroo, which
necessitates a way to recognize if they're on a Thunderbolt daisy
chain.
* Dual GPU MacBook Pros introduced 2011+ can no longer switch external
DisplayPort ports between GPUs. (They're no longer just used for DP
but have become combined DP/Thunderbolt ports.) The driver to switch
the ports, drivers/platform/x86/apple-gmux.c, needs to detect presence
of a Thunderbolt controller and, if found, keep external ports
permanently switched to the discrete GPU.
v2: Make kerneldoc for pci_is_thunderbolt_attached() more precise,

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
