Please include a pointer to the linux-usb analysis.

present at boot):
00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Device 9d10 (PCIe Root Port)
Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=39
01:00.0 PCI bridge: Intel Device 1576 (Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt)
Bus: primary=01, secondary=02, subordinate=05
02:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Device 1576 (Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt)
Bus: primary=02, secondary=05, subordinate=05
05:00.0 USB controller: Intel Device 15b5 (Alpine Ridge USB 3.1)
01:00.0 and 02:02.0 are ports of a Thunderbolt switch. Since they
don't appear when you boot without the docking station, the dock
connection must be between 00:1c.0 and 01:00.0.
>From the kernel's point of view, plugging in the dock would be a PCIe
hotplug event on 00:1c.0 that should be handled by pciehp. Do you
have pciehp included in your kernel?
