Current implementations of Intel Thunderbolt controllers will go
into a low power mode when not in use.
Many machines containing these controllers also have a GPIO wired up
that can force the controller awake. This is offered via a ACPI-WMI
interface intended to be manipulated by a userspace utility.
This mechanism is provided by Intel to OEMs to include in BIOS.
It uses an industry wide GUID that is populated in a separate _WDG
entry with no binary MOF.
This interface allows software such as fwupd to wake up thunderbolt
controllers to query the firmware version or flash new firmware.

+ Modify the platform force power state, influencing
+ Thunderbolt controllers to turn on or off when no
+ devices are connected (write-only)
+ There are two available states:
+ * 0 -> Force power disabled
+ * 1 -> Force power enabled

To recover from this mode, one needs to flash a valid NVM image to the
host host controller in the same way it is done in the previous chapter.
+
+Forcing power
+-------------
+Many OEMs include a method that can be used to force the power of a
+thunderbolt controller to an "On" state even if nothing is connected.
+If supported by your machine this will be exposed by the WMI bus with
+a sysfs attribute called "force_power".
+
+For example the intel-wmi-thunderbolt driver exposes this attribute in:
+
/sys/devices/platform/PNP0C14:00/wmi_bus/wmi_bus-PNP0C14:00/86CCFD48-205E-4A77-9C48-2021CBEDE341/force_power
+
+ To force the power to on, write 1 to this attribute file.
+ To disable force power, write 0 to this attribute file.
+
+Note: it's currently not possible to query the force power state of a platform.
