Considering this I think it's a good idea to move that creation of the
device link into drivers/pci/pci-acpi.c and store a bit in struct pci_device
to indicate it's a tunneled port.

Then 'thunderbolt' can look for this directly instead of walking all the FW
nodes.

pcie_bandwidth_available() can just look at the tunneled port bit instead of
the existence of the device link.

pci_is_thunderbolt_attached() should already be doing exactly what
you want to achieve with the new bit. It tells you whether a PCI
device is behind a Thunderbolt tunnel. So I don't think a new bit
is actually needed.

It's only for a device connected to an Intel TBT3 controller though; it won't apply to USB4.
