Can we put it in a separate function that is called from
tb_switch_add()? I explained in the previous reply (to v2) that the
tb_init_port() is pretty much just reading stuff and therefore I would
not like to add there anything that does writing.

While at it, the USB4 v2 spec (not yet public but can be found from the
working group site) adds a CM requirement that forbids writing lane 1
adapter configuration registers so in addition to that please check
port->cap_usb4 there so we know we deal with the lane 0 adapter only (as
->cap_usb4 is only set for the lane 0 adapters).

So something like this:

static void tb_switch_port_hotplug_enable(struct tb_switch *sw)
{
if (tb_switch_is_icm(sw))
return;

tb_switch_for_each_port(sw, port) {
if (!port->cap_usb4)
continue;

// here enable the hotplug
}
}

int tb_switch_add(struct tb_switch *sw)
{
... // init ports and stuff happens here

tb_switch_default_link_ports(sw);
tb_switch_port_hotplug_enable(sw);
}

(we should probably create a new macro tb_switch_for_each_usb4_port()
that just enumerates all USB4 ports).
