Librem 5 hubs / docks

@Hristo

Or do you think that it would simply not work.

I do not know for sure but suppose it might be the truth, even with the any other Linux distribution. Especially if output there, from lsusb, confirming: ID 17ef:1010 Lenovo Lenovo ThinkPad Dock, good and clever solution for your Librem 5 might easily be to just give up on using 17ef:1010 device for the intended purpose:

I also tried the same scenario with a Lenovo ThinkPad USB-C Dock Gen 2 (40AS0090US), and while the phone started to boot, it would stop, reset, fail, and after a few attempts, stop attempting to boot up.
