[PATCH] PCI/portdrv: Disable bwctrl service if port is fixed at 2.5 GT/s
From: Niklas Schnelle
Date: Sat Dec 07 2024 - 13:44:36 EST
Trying to enable bwctrl on a Thunderbolt port causes a boot hang on some
systems though the exact reason is not yet understood. As per the spec
Thunderbolt PCIe Downstream Ports have a fake Max Link Speed of 2.5 GT/s
(USB4 v2 sec 11.2.1):
"Max Link Speed field in the Link Capabilities Register set to 0001b
(data rate of 2.5 GT/s only).
Note: These settings do not represent actual throughput.
Throughput is implementation specific and based on the USB4 Fabric
performance."
More generally if 2.5 GT/s is the only supported link speed there is no
point in throtteling as this is already the lowest possible PCIe speed
so don't advertise the capability stopping bwctrl from being probed on
these ports.
