Hello,

I use Dell 7480 laptop connected to Dell TB16 Thunderbolt docking station.
Once in a while when USB device gets connected to Dell TB16 dock its xHCI 
controller "dies".
To recover its functionality it's required to reconnect Thunderbolt cable.

What's interesting video output to external monitor connected to the same one 
dock works all the time flawlessly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Currently I'm on Fedora-28 with kernel 4.17.3-200.fc28.x86_64 but that issues 
has been seen from the very beginning
(cannot recall exact kernel version I started from with that laptop, I guess it 
was 4.14.y or 4.15.y).

How reproducible:
Once in a while, i.e. not on every connection of USB device but pretty often. 
Like every 10th time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug-in USB device (could be anything like FTDI USB-to-Serial cable, 
smartphone, anything)repeat.

2. Wait for at least a minute (for USB device gets recognized and if xHCI 
controller stops to respond kernel will disable it which will be visible if
there's something like mouse/keyboard/audiocard is connected to the dock as 
well - so it will stop to work)

3. If nothing happens - unplug and repeat from (1).

Actual results:
In dmesg the following will appear:
