Custom thunderbolt firmware flash on HP Laptop

Custom thunderbolt firmware flash on HP Laptop

So, I got a HP EliteBook 830 G7 working flawless but I want to get native Apple Thunderbolt management. For my good or bad luck the thunderbolt controller of this laptop is the Intel Titan Ridge JHL7540 4C 2018 and I seem lot of successful patched firmwares of this controller on Gigabyte motherboards. Reading the guide of osy HaC Mini thunderbolt fix part 3 for a properly native management there's need to inject a modified firmware of a Mac with the same controller on the JHL7540, and investigating I found that the MacBook Pro 16inch 2019 have the same TB3 controller and architecture of the processor (Coffee Lake) so this should to be the firmware I have to modify and inject into the HP JHL7540 TB controller.

The thing is, someone has patched a laptop thunderbolt controller as I pretend? I'd like to hear your thoughts and if this process really worth it on comparison of simple SSDT patch injection to get thunderbolt under PCI devices.

Also I figured out on the motherboard of this laptop that I'm unable to see the JHL7540 chip to connect the dumper for extract original firmware and flash the custom one, so how could be the process? I attached some pics to y'all can understand this post.

btw I'm aware of all the risks of this process and I don't have any problems to give it a try.
