Here I see (assuming I read it right) that the USB 2.x enumerates only
after the first unplug:

[   28.589861] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1d5c, idProduct=5801, bcdDevice= 1.01
[   28.589864] usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[   28.589865] usb 3-2: Product: USB2.0 Hub
[   28.589866] usb 3-2: Manufacturer: Fresco Logic, Inc.

Since Goshen Ridge is pretty stable in Linux I'm kind of suspecting still a
connection issue rather than SW. Or could be power related too. AFAIK the
USB 2.x should be rock solid but here it seems not. Are you using active or
passive cables and do they have the lightning logo?

You could still try to comment out both tb_retimer_scan() calls and see if
that makes any difference but I doubt since your last log unplug happened
when we were reading DROM of the second device router not when sidband
access was done.
