ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Firmware attached,extracted from lenovo updates,plus links to driver downloads.Some models have 2 different firmwares, TBT.bin and AssistTBT.bin for the models that support or have bios assist enabled. NOTE: All the FW will need padding out with zeros using a hex editor to the size of the chip.
EDIT: There is a Thunderbolt tool project on Github, try it and give feedback to the author please Whale linguini --> https://github.com/whalelinguni/LenovoThunderboltTool
