This patch does let the dock hotplug properly after the BIOS fix is applied.

For the dock devices not showing up on the other side of the thunderbolt bridge:
It's going to be a system firmware update for both the XPS 9350 and Precision 5510.  It will get distributed to LVFS and can be loaded up with fwupd/fwupdate.  
I don't yet have an ETA that I can share other than "Next BIOS release"

After the update, set Thunderbolt Security to "No Security" and devices should be available.

Thanks,
