Hi, Thanks for finding the reason this far. Mika mentioned earlier to me this Link Speed stuff is all made up on Thunderbolt but I didn't make any changes back then because I thought bwctrl is not going to change the speed anyway in that case. Seem reasonable way to workaround the Thunderbold problem and agreed, there's not much point in adding bwctrl for 2.5GT/s only ports.
