This has been superceded by another Intel Thunderbolt update dated 5th November 2021:
Is there any chance of poking Dell into putting the firmware files into the LVFS, or are we doomed? Dell are putting BIOS updates in to the LVFS for this laptop, but apparently not Thunderbolt updates!
Reading the CVEs It’s possible that both of the above updates are to fix issues in the Windows device however. Perhaps the actual Thunderbolt firmware is unchanged? Unfortunately Intel have changed how they package the firmware updates in the exe that Dell supplies & I can’t work out how to unpack the current releases - they don’t seem to be using any of the standard windows packing formats like .cab or 7zip.
Given link the mentioned release is Thunderbolt driver stack in Windows, for firmware please visit https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-uk/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=d1x3v simarily https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.dell.tbtdfd51125.firmware on LVFS.
I guess Intel bundled firmware updates into the Windows binary releases in the past, hence the confusion? Thanks for checking anyway.

By the way, I do see this now with get-devices
