[Development] Help request fixing Thunderbolt 5 eGPU problems with AMD Strix CPUs
Hello Tuxedo team :)
Your support team advised me to contact the engineering team via Github/Gitlab, hence this issue entry.
I'm a happy IBP-14 gen10 AMD user and an avid eGPU enthusiast. I've managed to get to work some interesting eGPU builds involving this laptop, including connecting THREE external Nvidia cards to it: https://egpu.io/forums/postid/1118050/
Recently I've purchased a new Minisforum DEG2 adapter (Thunderbolt 5) and I've encountered some problems related to TB5 handling on Linux. You can see the details on egpu.io and Nvidia Linux forum:

I will be reporting also to linux-usb@vger, so I was wondering if you would like to be included on CC (maybe some improvements to your firmware will be able to help) and if so, what address I should use. Hopefully if we get together all involved parties (Nvidia Linux engs, AMD Thunderbolt Linux engs, Minisforum engs and your respective team), then maybe we will be able to fix this for all users :)
Cheers!
