There is really no "Thunderbolt functionality built in within its Root
Port".

More accurate is that the Thunderbolt/USB4 controller is integrated into
the CPU and the PCIe tunnels go out through the CPU PCIe Root Ports.

You should not use is_thunderbolt for anything else than with the legacy
Apple systems.

Okay this is integrated Thunderbolt/USB4 controller.

For integrated and most recent systems (that's with the software
connection manager) the tunneled PCIe ports (Root or Downstream) can be
identified by looking at "usb4-host-interface" ACPI _DSD property. In
addition to this there is the "External Facing Port" ACPI _DSD property
attached to them too. Maybe these help?

With the firmware connection manager there is only the "External Facing
Port" _DSD though.

The Microsoft documentation for this that we also use in Linux is here:
