To recover from this mode, one needs to flash a valid NVM image to the
host host controller in the same way it is done in the previous chapter.
+
+Forcing power
+-------------
+Many OEMs include a method that can be used to force the power of a
+thunderbolt controller to an "On" state even if nothing is connected.
+If supported by your machine this will be exposed by the WMI bus with
+a sysfs attribute called "force_power".
+
+For example the intel-wmi-thunderbolt driver exposes this attribute in:
+ /sys/devices/platform/PNP0C14:00/wmi_bus/wmi_bus-PNP0C14:00/86CCFD48-205E-4A77-9C48-2021CBEDE341/force_power
+
+ To force the power to on, write 1 to this attribute file.
+ To disable force power, write 0 to this attribute file.
+
+Note: it's currently not possible to query the force power state of a platform.
