The USB4 DVSEC spec makes comments about DVSEC_ID of 0x8086 and also
DVSEC VENDOR_ID of 0x8086.  Is that not also present on the Intel TBT3 controllers?

My interpretation of this (and Mika's comment) was that rather than looking at the Intel VSEC
we should look at the USB4 DVSEC to detect the Intel TBT3 controllers.
