commit 02729d17b1b818cc38a6b6319231a0cd86b132e4 upstream.

There is a mistake here where we accidentally use sizeof(TB_CFG_PKG_RESET)
instead of just TB_CFG_PKG_RESET.  The size of an int is 4 so it's the
same as TB_CFG_PKG_NOTIFY_ACK.

Fixes: d7f781bfdbf4 ("thunderbolt: Rework control channel to be more reliable")

Some Alpine Ridge LP DROMs (there might be others) erroneusly list more
ports than the controller actually has. Most probably because DROM of
the full Dual/Single port Thunderbolt controller was reused for LP
version. The current DROM parser does not check the upper bound thus it
leads to crash when sw-&gt;ports[] is accessed over bounds:

On one of my test machines nhi_mailbox_cmd() called from icm_suspend()
times out and returnes an error which then is propagated to the
caller and causes the entire system suspend to be aborted which isn't
very useful.

Instead of aborting system suspend, print the error into the log
and continue.

<title>thunderbolt: Correct access permissions for active NVM contents</title>

Firmware upgrade tools that decide which NVM image should be uploaded to
the Thunderbolt controller need to access active parts of the NVM even
if they are not run as root. The information in active NVM is not
considered security critical so we can use the default permissions set
by the NVMem framework.

Writing the NVM image is still left as root only operation.

While there mark the active NVM as read-only in the filesystem.

Starting from Intel Falcon Ridge the NVM firmware can be upgraded by
using DMA configuration based mailbox commands. If we detect that the
host or device (device support starts from Intel Alpine Ridge) has the
DMA configuration based mailbox we expose NVM information to the
userspace as two separate Linux NVMem devices: nvm_active and
nvm_non_active. The former is read-only portion of the active NVM which
firmware upgrade tools can be use to find out suitable NVM image if the
device identification strings are not enough.

The latter is write-only portion where the new NVM image is to be
written by the userspace. It is up to the userspace to find out right
NVM image (the kernel does very minimal validation). The ICM firmware
itself authenticates the new NVM firmware and fails the operation if it
is not what is expected.

We also expose two new sysfs files per each switch: nvm_version and
nvm_authenticate which can be used to read the active NVM version and
start the upgrade process.

We also introduce safe mode which is the mode a switch goes when it does
not have properly authenticated firmware. In this mode the switch only
accepts a couple of commands including flashing a new NVM firmware image
and triggering power cycle.

This code is based on the work done by Amir Levy and Michael Jamet.
