Well, I can install some distro to that thing also :) I suppose Debian
10.2 does have this issue, no?

That does not sound right at all. There is the preboot ACL that allows
you to use TBT dock aready on boot. Bolt takes care of this.

Are you talking about USB devices connected to the TB16 dock?

Also are you connecting the TB16 dock to the Thunderbolt ports (left
side of the system marked with small lightning logo) or to the normal
Type-C ports (right side)?

I'm bit confused. Can you describe the exact steps what you do (so I can
replicate them).

I see one strange thing in that log. The Thunderbolt driver does not
show the device at boot. You should see something like this when you
boot with the dock connected:

  thunderbolt 0-3: new device found, vendor=0xd4 device=0xb051
  thunderbolt 0-3: Dell Dell Thunderbolt Cable
  thunderbolt 0-303: new device found, vendor=0xd4 device=0xb054
  thunderbolt 0-303: Dell Dell Thunderbolt Dock

I only see those after you did suspend/resume cycle.

It is the one that authorizes the PCIe tunneling so definitely has
something to do but below:

looks what is expected.
