This patch does let the dock hotplug properly after the BIOS fix is applied.
For the dock devices not showing up on the other side of the thunderbolt bridge:
It's going to be a system firmware update for both the XPS 9350 and Precision 5510. It will get distributed to LVFS and can be loaded up with fwupd/fwupdate.
I don't yet have an ETA that I can share other than "Next BIOS release"
After the update, set Thunderbolt Security to "No Security" and devices should be available.
Thanks,
