When you say hot plug doesn't work in windows, is this with the modified firmware, or is it also with original firmware too?2. The hot-plug doesn't even work on windows.
Also, do you have different thunderbolt devices to test? We say "thunderbolt 3" but it is really a family of controllers, some with Alpine Ridge (which has multiple sub-variations) and there are some with Titan Ridge (which also has sub variants).
On the Z590 Vision D, I've observed that a certain old Alpine Ridge device doesn't hot plug even in windows with Maple Ridge, even though it hot plugs fine with a real Mac and on the Z490 Vision D and even on Tiger Lake's TB implementation. Gigabyte has confirmed it.
However, I have other newer Alpine Ridge + Titan Ridge devices, and they all do hotplug in both Windows and Linux. I had to ensure GPIO3 Force Power was set to enabled. I also have Native OS security for TBT enabled as well. Turning it off messed up hotplugging devices via a Goshen Ridge hub (I'd have to turn off the hub and turn it back on for TB devices attached to it to hotplug).
Something seems to be missing from either Gigabyte's ACPI implementation or something needs to be enabled in macOS for hotplug to work on the Vision D. Because according to others in this thread, MSI Ace + Asus Hero Z590 seem to have working hotplug, even in macOS.
Would be interesting to see the IOREG of an ASUS Z590 Hero and/or MSI Z590 Ace running the modified firmwares and updated Maple Ridge properties and compare them to that of Gigabyte.
