So IMO the bug is that select_detection_mode() assumes that ACPI should be
used as the PCIe hotplug detection method if it has found at least one
device that looks like an "ACPI hotplug slot" (Thuderbolt breaks that "logic").

To be honest, I'm not sure why we need the pciehp_acpi_slot_detection_check()
in pciehp_probe() at all.  It doesn't add any value as far as I can say.

If pciehp_probe() is called at all, we have registered a PCIe port service
and if this is a "hotplug" service, we wouldn't have registered it if the
_OSC handshake had not given us contol over native hotplug.

So I wonder if the patch below makes any difference.
