[SOLVED] Dell XPS 15 9570, Dock TB16, USB peripherals not working

I've connected a keyboard and a mouse, both USB, to the docking station. After a while (30 secs, 1 minute, it varies), they stop completely to work. Replugging the devices to the same USB port in the docking station, the peripherals will continue to not work. However, when replugging them to a different usb port, they restart to work, but again, only for a limited time. There have been several threads related to the xHCI controller, like this and this, but it seems a different issue, as I don't see those outputs in dmesg.

dmesg log: http://ix.io/1tHB

Any idea how to debug this issue?

Just a quick info, writing "on" in /sys/bus/devices/[usb port number]/power/control allowed the device to resume, but again only for 2 seconds. Now it's frozen again

Re: [SOLVED] Dell XPS 15 9570, Dock TB16, USB peripherals not working

I've resolved the issue by simply installing laptop-mode-tools. I suspect it's due to the default configuration of /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/runtime-pm.conf, it automatically disables autosuspend mode for any USB hubs:

# The list of 'device driver types' or 'device types' that should not use autosuspend.
# The driver type is given by "DRIVER=..." in a device's uevent file.
# The driver type is given by "DEVTYPE=..." in a device's uevent file.
# Example: AUTOSUSPEND_RUNTIME_DEVTYPE_BLACKLIST="usbhid usb-storage"
AUTOSUSPEND_RUNTIME_DEVTYPE_BLACKLIST="sd hub usbhid usb-storage"
