(I hate having to say this) but I still feel the actual reason why you're 
doing this change is missing from the above and has to be read between the 
lines.

Perhaps something along these lines matches what's your intent here:

The external GPU check added in commit 1d3c11030103 ("drm/nouveau: Don't 
register Thunderbolt eGPU with vga_switcheroo") covers only Thunderbolt
devices but removable PCIe devices can also be connected to USB4 hubs and 
routers. Those devices won't necessarily set the is_thunderbolt bit that
pci_is_thunderbolt_attached() checks for.

USB4 hubs and routers are however marked as externally facing which means 
they are marked removable by pci_set_removable().

Extend the check for removable device beyond Thunderbolt devices by 
using dev_is_removable() that covers also USB4 routers.
