Actually this needs to be done only for USB4 v1 routers since we already
reset USB4 v2 hosts so something like:

	/*
	 * Reset USB4 v1 host router to get rid of possible tunnels the
	 * boot firmware created. This makes sure all the tunnels are
	 * created by us and thus have known configuration.
	 *
	 * For USB4 v2 and beyond we do this in nhi_reset() using the
	 * host router reset interface.
	 */
	if (usb4_switch_version(tb->root_switch) == 1)
		tb_switch_reset(tb->root_switch);

(possibly add similar comment to the nhi_reset() to refer this one).
