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.  Add a helper to check
whether a given PCI device is situated on a Thunderbolt daisy chain.

The necessity arises from the following:

* To power off Thunderbolt controllers on Macs even if their BIOS is
  older than 2015, their PCIe ports need to be whitelisted for runtime
  PM.  For this we need a way to recognize them.

* 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.

* If an external Thunderbolt GPU is connected to a dual GPU laptop (Mac
  or not), 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.

If I understand correctly, vga_switcheroo manages two GPUs that have a
single output: either there's a mux that connects one GPU or the other
to the output, or one GPU is permanently connected to the output and
the other does offline rendering.

To this non-GPU person, it sounds like the important question is
whether two GPUs are related in this way (either they feed the same
mux, or there's some special offline rendering connection between
them).  That sounds unrelated to the question of how the GPUs
themselves are connected to the PCI hierarchy.

From a pure PCI perspective, I assume it would be conceivable to have
two Thunderbolt-connected GPUs feeding into a mux.  Or to have a GPU
(unrelated to the mux) in a non-Thunderbolt plugin slot or connected
externally via a non-Thunderbolt switch and an iPass cable.

If that's the case, and we're using Thunderbolt-connectedness as a
hint that happens to work for the hardware we know about now, that's
fine -- I'm just trying to understand what's a hint and what's
intrisic to being connected via Thunderbolt.

I'm not really keen on having this in the PCI core because the core
doesn't need this or even know what it means.

pci_find_next_ext_capability() is available to drivers, and if
Thunderbolt-connectedness is useful information to apple-gmux or GPU
drivers, it's fine with me if you want to use it there.  I just don't
see the benefit to having it in the core.

The comment suggests this returns false only if @pdev is soldered to
the mainboard.  I don't think that's the case.  This will return true
for a Thunderbolt controller and all devices downstream from it.  It
will return false for all others, whether they're soldered down or
not.

The above contradicts your statement 3 days earlier:

	"Assuming we need it, having it in struct pci_dev is fine.
	 There's no point in looking up the VSEC capability more than once."
	(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg58532.html)

Please explain.

Thanks,

Lukas

It's clear that none of the proposed uses is related to Thunderbolt as
a technology, which is why I would suggest we don't need the flag.
But in the interest of moving on, if you remove the changelog part
about whitelisting Thunderbolt for runtime PM (since that's not part
of this series), you can add my:

There are two aspects to hybrid graphics, switching the panel between
GPUs and powering off the discrete GPU.  (Some laptops can also switch
external DP ports between GPUs and some, as you say, cannot switch the
panel and only use the discrete GPU for render offloading.)

To the best of my knowledge there's no definite way to determine whether
two GPUs are connected to the same panel via a mux.

There is also no such thing as a special render offloading connection:
Frames are computed on a discrete GPU, then copied over PCIe into the
framebuffer of the integrated GPU.  Whether that discrete GPU is
on-board or externally connected is completely transparent and not
discernible other than by looking at the PCI hierarchy.

The same issue exists for HD Audio controllers integrated into many
discrete GPUs:  To the OS these look like separate PCI functions
and in sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:get_bound_vga() we leverage the fact
that the GPU is always function 0 and the HD Audio is function 1 to
discover the GPU corresponding to a particular HD Audio controller.
So again that relationship is deduced from the PCI hierarchy.

Technically such products would be possible, but I believe they don't
exist.  (Unlike Thunderbolt eGPUs, which have been on the market for
a few years.)
