This doesn't seem to make sense.  is_thunderbolt indicates that a device
is part of a Thunderbolt controller.  See the code comment:

-	unsigned int	is_thunderbolt:1;	/* Thunderbolt controller */

A Thunderbolt controller is not necessarily tunneled.  The PCIe switch,
NHI and XHCI of the Thunderbolt host controller are not tunneled at all.

Thanks,

I could really use some clarification which PCIe devices actually contain the Intel VSEC.

Is it in all 3 of those PCIe devices and not just the switch?

If so, I think I would rather introduce a separate bit. So after this series we would have:

is_tunneled:1
is_thunderbolt:1
no_command_complete:1

* TBT1 devices would set no_command_complete
  - The consumer would be pcie_init()
* All devices with the Intel VSEC would set is_thunderbolt and the two consumers would be:
 - apple-gmux.c
 - pci_bridge_d3_possible()
* USB4 devices and PCIe switches with the VSEC would set is_tunneled.
