Hi Thorsten,

I'll try to provide a kernel log ASAP, it's not that easy because when
I run into this issue my keyboard isn't working. The kernel parameter
that Mario suggested, thunderbolt.host_reset=false, fixes the issue!

I can add that without the suggested kernel parameter the issue
persists with the latest Archlinux kernel 6.9.1.

I also found another report of the issue on Archlinux forum:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295824
