Greg, per your comment:

"... which was to move the way that busses are allowed to authorize
the devices they wish to control into a generic way instead of being
bus-specific logic."

We have USB and TB that have already diverged on the ABI here. The USB
behavior is more in line with the "probe authorization" concept, while
TB is about tunnel establishment and not cleanly tied to probe
authorization. So while I see a path to a common authorization
implementation for USB and other buses (per the insight from Alan), TB
needs to retain the ability to record the authorization state as an
enum rather than a bool, and emit a uevent on authorization status
change.

So how about something like the following that moves the attribute
into the core, but still calls back to TB and USB to perform their
legacy authorization work. This new authorized attribute only shows up
when devices default to not authorized, i.e. when userspace owns the
allow list past critical-boot built-in drivers, or if the bus (USB /
TB) implements ->authorize().
