OK, here's the explanation.

When Linux initializes ACPI (this happens before PCI initial scan), it
calls acpi_initialize_objects(). This in turn causes _INI methods of
devices to be executed. Now, the _SB.PCI0._INI() ends up calling
\_GPE.TINI() which executes Thunderbolt specific OSUP() method. Purpose
of this method is to overwrite vendor_id/device_id to the correct values
with the assumption that the OS has already done the initial PCI scan.

In case of Linux this is not true and that is the reason the upstream
port is found half-initialized leading to the failure.
