What we know is that some change in 6.8-rc1 either introduced or
increased the chances of hitting the disconnect resets, while the
runtime PM series (and patch which has now been reverted) broke hotplug
detect.

Yes, unless Abhinav and Bjorn can pinpoint the change that makes us hit
this since 6.8-rc1 and revert that change (or come up with some
temporary band-aid).

It is also possible that we're dealing more than one bug here, since
we're seeing resets both on disconnect and when stopping X some time
after a disconnect.
