thunderbolt: Configure asymmetric link if needed and bandwidth allows
USB4 v2 spec defines a Gen 4 link that can operate as an asymmetric 120/40G. When the link is asymmetric, the USB4 port on one side of the link operates with three TX lanes and one RX lane, while the USB4 port on the opposite side of the link operates with three RX lanes and one TX lane. Using asymmetric link we can get much more bandwidth from one direction and that allows us to support the new Ultra High Bit Rate DisplayPort modes (that consume up to 77.37 Gb/s). Add the basic logic for changing Gen 4 links to asymmetric and back following the below rules: 1) The default threshold is 45 Gb/s (tunable by asym_threshold) 2) When DisplayPort tunnel is established, or when there is bandwidth request through bandwidth allocation mode, the links can be transitioned to asymmetric or symmetric (depending on the required bandwidth). 3) Only DisplayPort bandwidth on a link, is taken into account when deciding whether a link is transitioned to asymmetric or symmetric 4) If bandwidth on a link is >= asym_threshold transition the link to asymmetric 5) If bandwidth on a link < asym_threshold transition the link to symmetric (unless the bandwidth request is above currently allocated on a tunnel). 6) If a USB4 v2 device router with symmetric link is connected, transition all the links above it to symmetric if the bandwidth allows.
