When a device is authorized from userspace by writing to authorized attribute we first take the domain lock and then runtime resume the device in question. There are two issues with this. First is that the device connected notifications are blocked during this time which means we get them only after the authorization operation is complete. Because of this the authorization needed flag from the firmware notification is not reflecting the real authorization status anymore. So what happens is that the "authorized" keeps returning 0 even if the device was already authorized properly. Second issue is that each time the controller is runtime resumed the connection_id field of device connected notification may be different than in the previous resume. We need to use the latest connection_id otherwise the firmware rejects the authorization command. Fix these by moving runtime resume operations to happen before the domain lock is taken, and waiting for the updated device connected notification from the firmware before we allow runtime resume of a device to complete. While there add missing locking to tb_switch_nvm_read().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
