[PATCH] Add driver to force WMI Thunderbolt controller power status

From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Wed Sep 06 2017 - 13:55:45 EST


Current implementations of Intel Thunderbolt controllers will go
into a low power mode when not in use.

Many machines containing these controllers also have a GPIO wired up
that can force the controller awake. This is offered via a ACPI-WMI
interface intended to be manipulated by a userspace utility.

This mechanism is provided by Intel to OEMs to include in BIOS.
It uses an industry wide GUID that is populated in a separate _WDG
entry with no binary MOF.

This interface allow software such as fwupd to wake up thunderbolt
controllers to query the firmware version or flash new firmware.
