Not objecting this if really needed but since USB4 is supposed to be transparent to the native (tunneled) protocol, I would rather try to figure out if there is really need to change driver behaviour whether it is connected over USB4 or plugged natively on the PCIe slot. Can you elaborate a bit what kind of functionality needs this? Perhaps we can figure a better alternative? Thanks!
