We are investigating what happened and see if this can be fixed via a firmware update or if we really have to mark this hardware as having a broken boot loader.
The upstream bugzilla indicates that 8087:0aa7 seems hitting the same
problem:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215167
OTOH, on openSUSE Bugzilla, there has been a report that applying the
workaround for 8087:0026 may cause another issue about the reset
error, so the entry for 8087:0026 should be dropped.
