Comment 58 for bug 1729674

That patch note makes it sound like there will be a hardware/firmware fix that will hopefully resolve this. If so it is very unlikely that upstream will accept your patch, as the proper fix will really be to upgrade your firmware. A more preferable patch will be to log a big bad warning if you have TB16 with the bad firmware revision. The kernel people don't tend to like to BUG hardware issues that are resolvable through firmware updates.
