Hmm, this is quite different from the ânormalâ use-case of the these devices.
That way you wonât hit the bugs of the normal users. ;-)

We had to disable the Thunderbolt security settings as otherwise the USB
devices wouldnât work at cold boot either.

So, I built Linux 5.4-rc8 (`make bindeb-pkg -j8`), but unfortunately the
error is still there. Sometimes, re-plugging the dock helped, and sometimes
it did not.

Please find the logs attached. The strange thing is, the Linux kernel detects
the devices and I do not see any disconnect events. But, `lsusb` does not list
the keyboard and the mouse. Is that expected.

Additionally, despite `CONFIG_PCI_DEBUG` I do not see more elaborate messages.

Lastly, could the daemon boltd have anything to do with this?

Kind regards,

PS: Suspending the device with the dock attached, and unplugging the dock the
power button LED lights up, but the screen stays black and the device needs
to be forcefully powered off by pressing the power button for 12(?) seconds.
