I wonder if this is the correct "domain"? I mean it's typically no the
Thunderbolt controller (here tb->nhi->pdev->dev) that needs the
protection (although in discrete controllers it does get it too) but
it's the tunneled PCIe topology that we need to check here.

For instance in Intel with intergrated Thunderbolt we have topology like
this:

Host bridge
|
+--- Tunneled PCIe root port #1
+--- Tunneled PCIe root port #2
+--- Thunderbolt host controller (the NHI above)
+--- xHCI

and In case of discrete controllers it looks like this:

Host bridge
|
+--- PCIe root port #x
|
|
PCIe switch upstream port
|
+--- Tunneled PCIe switch downstream port #1
+--- Tunneled PCIe switch downstream port #2
+--- Thunderbolt host controller (the NHI above)
+--- xHCI
What we want is to make sure the Tunneled PCIe ports get the full IOMMU
protection. In case of the discrete above it is also fine if all the
devices behind the PCIe root port get the full IOMMU protection. Note in
the integrated all the devices are "siblings".
