Mika Westerberg b04079837b thunderbolt: Add initial support for USB4
USB4 is the public specification based on Thunderbolt 3 protocol. There
are some differences in register layouts and flows. In addition to PCIe
and DP tunneling, USB4 supports tunneling of USB 3.x. USB4 is also
backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 (and older generations but the
spec only talks about 3rd generation). USB4 compliant devices can be
identified by checking USB4 version field in router configuration space.

This patch adds initial support for USB4 compliant hosts and devices
which enables following features provided by the existing functionality
in the driver:

  - PCIe tunneling
  - Display Port tunneling
  - Host and device NVM firmware upgrade
  - P2P networking

This brings the USB4 support to the same level that we already have for
Thunderbolt 1, 2 and 3 devices.

Note the spec talks about host and device "routers" but in the driver we
still use term "switch" in most places. Both can be used interchangeably.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
