Since now we can do pretty much the same thing in the software
connection manager than the firmware would do, there is no point
starting it by default. Instead we can just continue using the software
connection manager.

Make it possible for user to switch between the two by adding a module
pararameter (start_icm) which is by default false. Having this ability
to enable the firmware may be useful at least when debugging possible
issues with the software connection manager implementation.

<title>thunderbolt: Add bandwidth management for Display Port tunnels</title>

Titan Ridge supports Display Port 1.4 which adds HBR3 (High Bit Rate)
rates that may be up to 8.1 Gb/s over 4 lanes. This translates to
effective data bandwidth of 25.92 Gb/s (as 8/10 encoding is removed by
the DP adapters when going over Thunderbolt fabric). If another high
rate monitor is connected we may need to reduce the bandwidth it
consumes so that it fits into the total 40 Gb/s available on the
Thunderbolt fabric.

<title>thunderbolt: Add Display Port adapter pairing and resource management</title>

<content type='text'>
To perform proper Display Port tunneling for Thunderbolt 3 devices we
need to allocate DP resources for DP IN port before they can be used.
The reason for this is that the user can also connect a monitor directly
to the Type-C ports in which case the Thunderbolt controller acts as
re-driver for Display Port (no tunneling takes place) taking the DP
sinks away from the connection manager. This allocation is done using
special sink allocation registers available through the link controller.

We can pair DP IN to DP OUT only if

 * DP IN has sink allocated via link controller
 * DP OUT port receives hotplug event

For DP IN adapters (only for the host router) we first query whether
there is DP resource available (it may be the previous instance of the
driver for example already allocated it) and if it is we add it to the
list. We then update the list when after each plug/unplug event to a DP
IN/OUT adapter. Each time the list is updated we try to find additional
DP IN &lt;-&gt; DP OUT pairs for tunnel establishment. This strategy also
makes it possible to establish another tunnel in case there are 3
monitors connected and one gets unplugged releasing the DP IN adapter
for the new tunnel.

For a casual reader tb_switch_is_cr() does not tell much so instead
spell out the full controller name in the function name. For example
tb_switch_is_cr() becomes tb_switch_is_cactus_ridge() which is easier
to understand.

<id>91c0c12080d0f40ee7275485221b06b4e1e289e1</id>

Lane bonding allows aggregating two 10/20 Gb/s (depending on the
generation) lanes into a single 20/40 Gb/s bonded link. This allows
sharing the full bandwidth more efficiently. In order to establish lane
bonding we need to check that lane bonding is possible through link
controller and that both ends of the link actually supports 2x widths.
This also means that all the paths should be established through the
primary port so update tb_path_alloc() to handle this as well.

Lane bonding is supported starting from Falcon Ridge (2nd generation)
controllers.

We also expose the current speed and number of lanes under each device
except the host router following similar attribute naming than USB bus.
Expose speed and number of lanes for both directions to allow possibility
of asymmetric link in the future.

<title>thunderbolt: Add helper macro to iterate over switch ports</title>

There are quite many places in the driver where we iterate over each
port in the switch. To make it bit more convenient, add a macro that can
be used to iterate over each port and convert existing call sites to use it.

This is based on code by Lukas Wunner.

No functional changes.

Now that the driver can handle every possible tunnel types there is no
point to log everything as info level so turn these to happen at debug
level instead.

While at it remove duplicated tunnel activation log message
(tb_tunnel_activate() calls tb_tunnel_restart() which print the same
message) and add one missing '\n' termination.

Two domains (hosts) can be connected through a Thunderbolt cable and in
that case they can start software services such as networking over the
high-speed DMA paths. Now that we have all the basic building blocks in
place to create DMA tunnels over the Thunderbolt fabric we can add this
support to the software connection manager as well.

In order to detect possible connections to other domains we need to be
able to find out why tb_switch_alloc() fails so make it return ERR_PTR()
instead. This allows the caller to differentiate between errors such as
-ENOMEM which comes from the kernel and for instance -EIO which comes
from the hardware when trying to access the possible switch.

Convert all the current call sites to handle this properly.
