Dell Precision 5550. Its thunderbolt port can't detect newly plugged thunderbolt devices.

Yes, so this approach is not optimal.

Windows doesn't have this issue. So I don't think it's hardware issue.

The GPE used by Thunderbolt root port, was previously enabled by Thunderbolt switches/bridges.
So when the GPE is already enabled when Thunderbolt root port is suspended.
However, the GPE needs to be enabled after root port is suspended, and that's the approach this patch takes.

Is there any actual hardware benefits from acpi_pci_propagate_wakeup()?
If there's no actual device benefits from it, we can remove it and only enable GPE for the root port.
Otherwise we need to quirk off Thunderbolt bridges/switches, since their native PME just work without the need to enable root port GPE.
