Trying to enable bwctrl on an Intel JHL7540 (Titan Ridge) based
Thunderbolt port causes a boot hang on at least some systems though the
exact reason is not yet understood. As per the spec Thunderbolt PCIe
Downstream Ports have a fake Max Link Speed of 2.5 GT/s (USB4 v2 sec
11.2.1):

   "Max Link Speed field in the Link Capabilities Register set to 0001b
    (data rate of 2.5 GT/s only).
    Note: These settings do not represent actual throughput.
    Throughput is implementation specific and based on the USB4 Fabric
    performance."

More generally if 2.5 GT/s is the only supported link speed there is no
point in throtteling as this is already the lowest possible PCIe speed
so don't advertise the capability stopping bwctrl from being probed on
these ports.

The PCIe r6.2 specification section 7.5.3.18 recommends to primarily
utilize the Supported Link Speeds Vector instead of the Max Link Speeds
field to prevent confusion if future specifications allow devices not
to support lower speeds. This concern does not apply however when
specifically targeting devices claiming support only for 2.5 GT/s.

Note: This issue causes a boot hang on my personal workstation.

While there is an ongoing discussion about generalizing this to all
devices with a single supported speed. It turns out however that in my
case dev->supported_speeds incorrectly claims 2.5-8 GT/s requiring
a seperate second fix. So in the interest of simplicity and because I'll
be out from the 19th until January, I'd like to propose to do this simple
fix to the boot hang now and take the time to figure out a more general
approach afterwards.

Changes in v2:
- Improve commit message to mention the specific controller and
  why using the Max Link Speeds field should be fine here.
- Add a comment (Lukas)
- Add R-b's (no change to logic).
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241207-fix_bwctrl_thunderbolt-v1-1-b711f572a705@kernel.org
