That means that for some reason, the PCI devices are not associated with
the Thunderbolt ports.  Could you add this to the command line:

  thunderbolt.dyndbg ignore_loglevel log_buf_len=10M

and this to your kernel config:

  CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y

You should see "... is associated with ..." messages in dmesg.
This did work for Mika during his testing with recent Thunderbolt chips.
I amended the patches after his testing but wouldn't expect that to
cause issues.

@Mika, would you mind re-testing if you've got cycles to spare?

Setting the two as fixed and trusted should be sufficient.
The external_facing bit should not be needed on the NHI and XHCI.

Hm, why would I have to distinguish between the two?

I distinguish between Thunderbolt PCIe Adapters on the root switch
and ones on non-root switches.  The latter are attached Device Routers,
the former is the Host Router.  I just set the ones on the former to
external_facing, fixed and trusted.  Everything downstream is untrusted
and removable.

See above, the Alpine Ridge Dock is never the root switch.
The Tiger Lake CPU is.
