While waiting for this, I wonder if you guys could do one more
experiment? I would like to get the traces what is happening there
(hoping something pops out there). Following steps:
1. Download and install tbtools [1].
2. Build and install the kernel with my "redrive" patch.
3. Boot the system up, nothing connected.
4. Wait until the Barlow Ridge is in runtime suspend (so wait for
~30s or so)
5. Enable tracing:
# tbtrace enable
6. Plug in USB-C monitor to the USB-C port of the Barlow Ridge. Do not
run 'lspci -k'. Expectation here is that there is no picture on
the monitor (in other words the issue reproduces).
7. Stop tracing and take full dump:
# tbtrace disable
# tbtrace dump -vv > trace.out
8. Send trace.out along with full dmesg to me.
Thanks!
