1What: /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/.../domainX/boot_acl 2Date: Jun 2018 3KernelVersion: 4.17 4Contact: thunderbolt-software@lists.01.org 5Description: Holds a comma separated list of device unique_ids that 6 are allowed to be connected automatically during system 7 startup (e.g boot devices). The list always contains 8 maximum supported number of unique_ids where unused 9 entries are empty. This allows the userspace software 10 to determine how many entries the controller supports. 11 If there are multiple controllers, each controller has 12 its own ACL list and size may be different between the 13 controllers. 14 15 System BIOS may have an option "Preboot ACL" or similar 16 that needs to be selected before this list is taken into 17 consideration. 18 19 Software always updates a full list in each write. 20 21 If a device is authorized automatically during boot its 22 boot attribute is set to 1. 23 24What: /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/.../domainX/deauthorization 25Date: May 2021 26KernelVersion: 5.12 27Contact: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> 28Description: This attribute tells whether the system supports 29 de-authorization of devices.
