No, that doesn't work.  At least Apple represents the first few devices
in the Thunderbolt daisy-chain in the ACPI namespace, so IIUC you'd find
an ACPI companion for those but not for the remainder of the daisy-chain.
This is from a 2019/2020 MacBookPro16,1:

$ grep 'Device ' acpidump/mbp161/ssdt6.dsl
            Device (UPSB)
                Device (DSB0)
                    Device (NHI0)
                Device (DSB1)
                    Device (UPS0)
                        Device (DSB0)
                            Device (DEV0)
                        Device (DSB3)
                            Device (UPS0)
                                Device (DSB0)
                                    Device (DEV0)
                                Device (DSB3)
                                    Device (DEV0)
            ...

There's a *reason* why I introduced the is_thunderbolt flag,
there is no other reliable way to detect externally attached devices.

Thanks,

Lukas
