Okay, let's try to deal with one issue at the time so first the hang
that appears after the OS is booted up. Do you still have the
"pcie_port_pm=off" in the kernel command line? The hang that happens
afterwards sounds exactly like that the runtime PM would kick in but the
parameter should prevent that from happening. Since you are connecting
Thunderbolt 1 devices there is really no PM we can do for them at all
and the TBT driver should block it too.

Is it possible to narrow this down to a single device connected and then
get me the full dmesg output (with CONFIG_PCI_DEBUG=y) and output of
'sudo lspci -vv'?
