28. Thunderbolt

• Add Thunderbolt 3 support for the software connection manager. It is currently only used in Apple systems. Previously the driver started the firmware connection manager on those but it is not necessary anymore in this release (we still leave user an option to start the firmware in case there are problems with the software connection manager). This includes: Expose 'generation' attribute under each device in sysfs, lane bonding support, expose link speed and width in sysfs, display Port handshake needed for Titan Ridge devices, display Port pairing and resource management, and display Port bandwidth management commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
