linux-kernel: T6485: build modules for thunderbolt and thunderbolt-net
Change Summary
This is the first step in order to have Thunderbolt Networking support in VyOS.
I have been successfully using a custom built kernel for this for a few months now, and with this change it will still require manual setup of the PCIe address within systemd
and udev
rules that I plan on implementing as a proper interface in the CLI next.

Proposed changes
Add modules for thunderbolt
and thunderbolt-net
How to test
If anyone would like to actually enable this to test, at the moment you would create the interface file /etc/systemd/network/00-=thhunderbolt0.link
as follows:
[Match]
Path=pci-0000:04:00.1
Driver=thunderbolt-net
[Link]
MACAddressPolicy=none
Name=thunderbolt0
Replacing the Path with the PCIe address of the Thunderbolt controller port.
If you wan to have the interface come up when a cable is connected, you would also need to add this udev rule /etc/udev/rules.d/60-thunderbolt-network-interfaces.rules
as follows:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="thunderbolt0", RUN+="/usr/sbin/ifconfig thunderbolt0 up"
