Subject: Re: Thunderbolt driver hotplug not working correctly

Hello Steven,

I think that there are two problems:
 - The Kernel does not notice that the device is gone.
 - The first hotplug operation, after removing a coldplugged device fails.

For the first one could you check whether thie pciehp (sub)-driver is loaded?
(dmesg | grep pciehp should show something, the config option is
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE).

I was able reproduce the second problem on my machine. Could you test whether
this patch fixes the problem?

Thanks,
Andreas
