Yes. I should have mentioned so the lspci is there exactly to trigger
runtime resume of the topology. I was hoping the PCIe links get
re-established properly then.

Can you do so that you:

1. Plug in the dock.
2. Plug in the other storage to the dock.
3. Block runtime PM from the PCIe Downstream Port that should lead to the
   second storage device PCIe Upstream Port

 # echo on > /sys/bus/pci/devices/DEVICE/power/control

4. Connect the second storage device and enable PCIe tunnel.

Does that make it work each time?
