Let's stop here so that we deal with one issue at the time. The corresponding entries in you dmesg are below with my comments. Please correct me if my analysis does not match your steps. So here you plug in the first Type-C cable: > [ 182.118304] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: control channel starting... > [ 182.118314] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: starting TX ring 0 > [ 182.118325] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: enabling interrupt at register 0x38200 bit 0 (0x0 -> 0x1) > [ 182.118329] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: starting RX ring 0 > [ 182.118338] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: enabling interrupt at register 0x38200 bit 12 (0x1 -> 0x1001) > [ 182.118348] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0: resuming switch > [ 182.118351] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: restoring Switch at 0x0 (depth: 0, up port: 15) > [ 182.118608] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0: disabling wakeup > [ 182.127404] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0: TMU: supports uni-directional mode > [ 182.127416] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0: TMU: supports enhanced uni-directional mode > [ 182.127524] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0: TMU: current mode: off > [ 182.127527] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0: TMU: mode change off -> bi-directional, HiFi requested > [ 182.128042] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0: TMU: mode set to: bi-directional, HiFi > [ 182.128938] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0:13: enter redrive mode, keeping powered We notice this as "redrive" and keep the domain powered. > [ 182.129059] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: acking hot plug event on 0:16 > [ 182.129759] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0:14: enter redrive mode, keeping powered We notice the second Type-C connection too. So at this point the domain keeps powered and if you wait here it should never runtime suspend because there are two Type-C ports in "redrive" mode. > [ 315.601384] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: acking hot plug event on 0:14 You unplugged the second monitor. > [ 315.601762] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0:14: DP IN resource available after hotplug > [ 315.602370] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0:14: exit redrive mode > [ 315.602375] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: looking for DP IN <-> DP OUT pairs: > [ 315.602549] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0:14: DP IN available > [ 315.602553] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: no suitable DP OUT adapter available, not tunneling > [ 353.610947] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: acking hot plug event on 0:13 And then the first monitor. > [ 353.611260] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0:13: DP IN resource available after hotplug > [ 353.611921] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0:13: exit redrive mode So at this point we are not in "redrive" mode anymore and the domain is allowed to runtime suspend. > [ 353.611933] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: looking for DP IN <-> DP OUT pairs: > [ 353.612076] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0:14: DP IN available > [ 353.612258] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0:13: DP IN available > [ 353.612264] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: no suitable DP OUT adapter available, not tunneling > [ 372.362496] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0: suspending switch > [ 372.362506] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: 0: enabling wakeup: 0x3f > [ 372.363480] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: stopping RX ring 0 > [ 372.363497] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: disabling interrupt at register 0x38200 bit 12 (0x1001 -> 0x1) > [ 372.363523] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: stopping TX ring 0 > [ 372.363539] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: disabling interrupt at register 0x38200 bit 0 (0x1 -> 0x0) > [ 372.363558] thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: control channel stopped Which is what happens here. I think the driver does the correct thing but why you don't see anything in the screen is beyond me. Can reproduce just this case with the patch and then run "xrandr" and see if the monitors are visible there?
