The PCIe Upstream Port is TB3 device?

For TB3 there is no LTTSM state in that register so the value you read can
be anything.

We can do it for USB4, like with this patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20260127094953.GF2275908@black.igk.intel.com/

It should be modified so that it just checks for the USB4 side.

Thanks for sharing!

It could be. What device this is?
