Sigh, sorry for the noise.  Right after sending this, I noticed that
Esther had posted a v5 with this rework:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240910-trust-tbt-fix-v5-1-7a7a42a5f496@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Although I'm still unclear on whether we actually need to make this
ACPI-specific as v5 does.

I'm also not sure about making it x86-specific, since the
"usb4-host-interface" property doesn't seem x86-specific, other than
maybe as an accidental consequence of some hardware implementations.
