USB4 spec specifies standard access to retimers (both on-board and
cable) through USB4 port sideband access. This makes it possible to
upgrade their firmware in the same way than we already do with the
routers.
This enumerates on-board retimers under each USB4 port when the link
comes up and adds them to the bus under the router the retimer belongs
to. Retimers are exposed in sysfs with name like <device>:<port>.<index>
where device is the router the retimer belongs to, port is the USB4 port
the retimer is connected to and index is the retimer index under that
port (starting from 1). This applies to the upstream USB4 port as well
so if there is on-board retimer between the port and the router it is
also added accordingly.
At this time we do not add cable retimers but there is no techincal
restriction to do so in the future if needed. It is not clear whether it
makes sense to upgrade their firmwares and at least Thunderbolt 3 cables
it has not been done outside of lab environments.
The sysfs interface is made to follow the router NVM upgrade to make it
easy to extend the existing userspace (fwupd) to handle these as well.

USB3 supports both isochronous and non-isochronous traffic. The former
requires guaranteed bandwidth and can take up to 90% of the total
bandwidth. With USB4 USB3 is tunneled over USB4 fabric which means that
we need to make sure there is enough bandwidth allocated for the USB3
tunnels in addition to DisplayPort tunnels.
Whereas DisplayPort bandwidth management is static and done before the
DP tunnel is established, the USB3 bandwidth management is dynamic and
allows increasing and decreasing the allocated bandwidth according to
what is currently consumed. This is done through host router USB3
downstream adapter registers.
This adds USB3 bandwidth management to the software connection manager
so that we always try to allocate maximum bandwidth for DP tunnels and
what is left is allocated for USB3.

Each host router USB3 downstream adapter has a set of registers that are
used to negotiate bandwidth between the connection manager and the
internal xHCI controller. These registers allow dynamic bandwidth

consumed vs. allocated at any given time.
Implement these USB3 bandwidth negotiation routines to allow the
software connection manager take advantage of these.

USB3 tunneling is possible only over USB4 link so don't create USB3
tunnels if that's not the case.
Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com>
USB4 spec allows DP tunneling from any router that has DP IN adapter,
not just from host router. The driver currently only added the DP IN
resources for the host router because Thunderbolt 1, 2 and 3 devices do
not have DP IN adapters. However, USB4 allows device routers to have DP
IN adapter as well so update the driver to add DP IN resources for each
device that has one. One example would be an eGPU enclosure where the
eGPU output is forwarded to DP IN port and then tunneled over the USB4
fabric.
Only limitation we add now is that the DP IN and DP OUT that gets paired
for tunnel creation should both be under the same topology starting from
host router downstream port. In other words we do not create DP tunnels
across host router at this time even though that is possible as well but
it complicates the bandwidth management and there is no real use-case
for this anyway.

This adds KUnit tests for path walking which is only dependent on
software structures, so no hardware is needed to run these.
We make these available only when both KUnit and the driver itself are
built into the kernel image. The reason for this is that KUnit adds its
own module_init() call in kunit_test_suite() which generates linker
error because the driver does the same in nhi.c. This should be fine for
now because these tests are only meant to run by developers anyway.

Currently we have only supported paths that follow daisy-chain topology

the host router and back to the same level.
Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com>
If the path is not complete when we do discovery the number of hops may
be less than with the full path. As an example when this can happen is
that user unloads the driver, disconnects the topology, and loads the
driver back. If there is PCIe or USB3 tunnel involved this may happen.

USB4 makes it possible to have tree topology of devices connected in the
same way than USB3. This was actually possible in Thunderbolt 1, 2 and 3

building only daisy-chains of devices.
With USB4 it is possible for example that there is DP IN adapter as part
of eGPU device router and that should be tunneled over the tree topology
to a DP OUT adapter. This updates the tb_next_port_on_path() to support
such topologies.

On my machine, a kexec with this driver loaded in the old kernel causes
a very long delay on boot in the kexec'ed kernel, most likely due to
unclean shutdown prior to that.
Unloading thunderbolt driver prior to kexec allows kexec to work as fast
as regular kernel boot, as well as adding this .shutdown pointer.
Shutting a device prior to the shutdown completely is always a good idea
IMHO to help with kexec, and this one-liner patch implements it.
