No problem. I'll describe bit 26 in the patch only by what I measured:
with it set, SXFP() really powers the controller off and Linux does not
bring it back on resume; with it clear, the controller resumes fine.

That makes sense to me. I'll move both parts into drivers/thunderbolt:
calling SXFP() on suspend, and clearing bit 26 just before it. I'll
test it the same way as the PCI version, with a USB disk attached
across suspend, and send it as a new patch when it works.

Bjorn, that new patch would replace this one, and nothing would be
left to change in drivers/pci for Alpine Ridge. So please drop this
version.

Thanks,
Francisco
