Actually this needs to be done only for USB4 v1 routers since we already
reset USB4 v2 hosts so something like:

/*
* Reset USB4 v1 host router to get rid of possible tunnels the
* boot firmware created. This makes sure all the tunnels are
* created by us and thus have known configuration.
*
* For USB4 v2 and beyond we do this in nhi_reset() using the
* host router reset interface.
*/
if (usb4_switch_version(tb->root_switch) == 1)
tb_switch_reset(tb->root_switch);

(possibly add similar comment to the nhi_reset() to refer this one).
