[RFC PATCH 00/22] thunderbolt: Add support for USB4

From: Mika Westerberg

Hi all,

I'm sending this as RFC because the series is still missing important
features such as power management so not ready for merging. However, I
think it is good to get any early feedback from the community. We are
working to add support for the missing features.

USB4 is the public specification of Thunderbolt 3 protocol and can be
downloaded here:

https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB4%20Specification_1.zip

USB4 is about tunneling different protocols over a single cable (in the
same way as Thunderbolt). The current USB4 spec supports PCIe, Display Port
and USB 3.x, and also software based protocols such as networking between
domains (hosts).

So far PCs have been using firmware based Connection Manager and Apple
systems have been using software based one. A Connection Manager is the
entity that handles creation of different tunnel types through the USB4
(and Thunderbolt) fabric. With USB4 the plan is to have software based
Connection Manager everywhere but some early systems will also support
firmware to allow OS downgrade for example.

Current Linux Thunderbolt driver supports both "modes" and can detect which
one to use dynamically.

This series first adds support for Thunderbolt 3 devices to the software
connection manager and then extends that to support USB4 compliant hosts
and devices (this applies to both firmware and software based connection
managers). With this series the following features are supported also for
USB4 compliant devices:

- PCIe tunneling
- Display Port tunneling
- USB 3.x tunneling
- P2P networking (implemented in drivers/net/thunderbolt.c)
- Host and device NVM firmware upgrade

We also add two new sysfs attributes under each device that expose link
speed and width to userspace. The rest of the userspace ABI stays the same.

I'm including Linux USB folks as well because USB4 is officially coming
from USB-IF which puts us on same boat now.

While I changed the user visible Kconfig string to mention "USB4" (the
Kconfig option is still CONFIG_THUNDERBOLT), I'm wondering whether we
should move the whole Thunderbolt driver under drivers/usb/thunderbolt as
well?
