thunderbolt: Configure asymmetric link if needed and bandwidth allows

[ Upstream commit 3e36528c1127b20492ffaea53930bcc3df46a718 ]

USB4 v2 spec defines a Gen 4 link that can operate as an asymmetric
120/40G. When the link is asymmetric, the USB4 port on one side of the
link operates with three TX lanes and one RX lane, while the USB4 port
on the opposite side of the link operates with three RX lanes and one TX
lane. Using asymmetric link we can get much more bandwidth from one
direction and that allows us to support the new Ultra High Bit Rate
DisplayPort modes (that consume up to 77.37 Gb/s).

Add the basic logic for changing Gen 4 links to asymmetric and back
following the below rules:

  1) The default threshold is 45 Gb/s (tunable by asym_threshold)
  2) When DisplayPort tunnel is established, or when there is bandwidth
     request through bandwidth allocation mode, the links can be
     transitioned to asymmetric or symmetric (depending on the
     required bandwidth).
  3) Only DisplayPort bandwidth on a link, is taken into account when
     deciding whether a link is transitioned to asymmetric or symmetric
  4) If bandwidth on a link is >= asym_threshold transition the link to
     asymmetric
  5) If bandwidth on a link < asym_threshold transition the link to
     symmetric (unless the bandwidth request is above currently
     allocated on a tunnel).
  6) If a USB4 v2 device router with symmetric link is connected,
     transition all the links above it to symmetric if the bandwidth
     allows.
