For GPU drivers, we need to determine which dGPU on the system has
d3cold control via ACPI and which GPU would use a mux for display
switching between the iGPU and the dGPU for hybrid graphics platforms
(e.g., iGPU + dGPU built into a laptop or all-in-one PC).  The dGPU
built into the platform would be the one we want to use for mux
switching and ACPI power control.  You would not want that for the
dGPU connected via thunderbolt (or some other hot pluggable
interface).  I had suggested that we could check if there is an ACPI
device associated with the dGPU and use that to determine this, but I
think someone brought up a case where that didn't work.  We need to
know whether the dGPU uses platform power control to determine whether
the driver should let the platform manage the power state via ACPI or
if the driver should do it (e.g., for dGPU PCIe add-in cards) for
runtime power management.

I think this one is a quirk specifically for thunderbolt.  Thunderbolt
attached dGPUs needs a different ASPM L1 inactivity threshold for
stability.  I can check with the relevant teams for more background on
this.
