Phoronix: Linux 6.4 Fixes An Issue Where Intel USB Support Could Be Broken After Resume

Since last November has been a kernel bug report from a Canonical engineer after finding that the Intel Thunderbolt USB controller on various laptops was "dead" after resuming the system. That problem is now resolved with Linux 6.4 and this generic fix may end up helping other hardware as well...

The issue with hardware is that software is so flexible that it can be abused to work around broken and misdesigned hardware, like this Intel device here.
In other industries, where software cannot be abused in that way, the manufacturer would have to recall the product ... which costs a lot of money, and since that is seemingly the only feedback mechanism in capitalism, the practice of properly designing and testing products before releasing them is promoted.

Here the opposite is the case. I can hear the echo of the managers: "just fix it in software".

This also happened lately on my Dell XPS 15 9550 (Skylake). I hope that this Comet Lake issue also solves mine. 🤨
