That patch stops the lockup (at least for the one reboot that I had time to test before leaving for work). The patched 4.12 now works just like 4.11 with my USB-C to USB-3 hub hardware configuration - while starting up the desktop, the devices attached to USB-C go offline for some seconds and then come back online. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
