[PATCH v2 00/10] thunderbolt: Introduce USB4STREAM

[Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com>]

Hi all,

This series adds support for a new protocol over USB4/Thunderbolt cable
called USB4STREAM. The protocol is super-simple and basically just
transfers raw packets from one host to another. It is documented as part of
the thunderbolt_stream driver.

The driver exposes /dev/tbstreamX devices on each side of the link that can
be used to transfer data using regular filesystem operations such as
read(2) and write(2):

  host1 # cat /dev/tbstream0
  host2 # echo hello > /dev/tbstream0

This can be useful in cases where network tooling is not available or just
for existing applications like 'dd' and 'cat' that do not support sockets.

thunderbolt_stream can be used at the same time with thunderbolt_net so
they don't rule each other our. 

thunderbolt_stream allows multiple streams to be created, for example one
stream for control traffic and another for data (there are some limitations
in the core USB4/Thunderbolt driver due to dedicated flow control scheme
but this is likely change in the future). Each stream is bi-directional
tunnel over the fabric.

There are a couple of additional usage examples in the last patch that adds
the driver itself.

Previous version of the series is avaiable here:
  
   https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20260428072209.3084930-1-mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com/

Changes from the previous version:

  * Dropped module parameter from the network driver.
  * Convert stream driver to use miscdevice instead.
  * Add documentation how to use stream to admin guide.
