Brad reported that on Apple hardware with Light Ridge or Falcon Ridge controller, plugging in a chain of Thunderbolt displays (Light Ridge based controllers) causes all kinds of tearing and flickering. The reason for this is that on Thunderbolt 1 hardware there is no lane bonding so we have two independent 10 Gb/s lanes, and currently Linux tunnels both displays through the lane 1. This makes the displays to share the 10 Gb/s bandwidth which may not be enough for higher resolutions. For this reason make the second tunnel go through the lane 0 instead. This seems to match what the macOS connection manager is also doing.

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.
