Some TBT3 devices have a hard time reliably responding to bit banging requests correctly when connected to AMD USB4 hosts running Linux. These problems are not reported in any other CM supported on AMD platforms, and comparing the Windows and Pre-OS implementations the Linux CM is the only one that utilizes bit banging to access the DROM. Other CM implementations access the DROM directly from the NVM instead of bit banging. Adjust the flow to use this method to fetch the NVM when the downstream device has an LC that can be used to fetch the UUID later. The bit banging method will only be used if this has failed or no LC is present.
