So at least for me the other difference between a successful run (where you plug
in after boot instead) is that it shows up as instead:
PCI bridge to [bus 02-39]

Same bridge window though.

For what it's worth the XPS 9365 which has a different BIOS core has these
exact same behaviors on Linux if booted with the TBT dock plugged in.

I'll reach out to the BIOS guys to see if they can give some more comments
from their perspective.

I came across something interesting from browsing MSDN about this topic.
It hasn't been updated in a long time but I think should still be a relevant
indication of the approach that Windows was taking and why the firmware
is this way and expecting OS to reconfigure.

"The BIOS cannot preconfigure PCI-to-PCI (P2P) bridges on adapters during
hot plug. Consequently, the operating system assigns resource windows of
a default size to a bridge.

I/O window. The default size for the I/O window is 4 KB in Windows 2000,
Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.
Memory window. The configuration for the memory window differs for
Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003:
* For Windows 2000, the default size for the memory window is 2 MB.
* For Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, the operating system
first attempts to find a memory window of 32 MB. If it cannot find a
window of that size, the operating system attempts to find a memory
window of progressively smaller sizes (16, 8, 4, 2, and finally 1 MB) until
it finds a size that works."

Come to think of it, I have seen the dock have troubles if plugged in at
boot on Linux even with SL0 before this patch series.

To clarify are you reproducing it with a TB16 or some other TBT device?

Yep same.

It does work properly if I boot no cable plugged in and then plug one in.
