It means that also any external ATI or NVIDIA PCI card with audio device connected to Thunderbolt (e.g. via PCI <--> TB bridge) is always unconditionally disabled too?
I never thought of this case, thanks for bringing this up. Do you have any suggestion to check if it connects to the system via Thunderbolt?
Just use pci_is_thunderbolt_attached(), introduced by 8531e283bee6, like this:
if (check_dell_switchable_gfx(pci) && !pci_is_thunderbolt_attached(pci))
And what about PCI-e device attached to ExpressCard slot?
