With help from platform firmware (ACPI) it is possible to power on retimers even when there is no USB4 link (e.g nothing is connected to the USB4 ports). This allows us to bring the USB4 sideband up so that we can access retimers and upgrade their NVM firmware. If the platform has support for this, we expose two additional attributes under USB4 ports: offline and rescan. These can be used to bring the port offline, rescan for the retimers and put the port online again. The retimer NVM upgrade itself works the same way than with cable connected.

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.
