Describe the bug
I'm using dGPU with thunderbolt 3 case. The main issue that during sleep/suspend or reconnecting device kernel module goes to "fallen off the bus" mode, without reconnecting. Any usage of device is not possible until reboot.
Hotplug works on Windows btw.
To Reproduce
Disconnect dGPU via thunderbolt and connect again

Start by reproducing the Thunderbolt disconnect and reconnect cycle described in the issue and inspect the attached nvidia-bug-report.log.gz. Done means the open kernel module recovers from suspend or Thunderbolt reconnection without entering “fallen off the bus” state or requiring a reboot.
