Unable to Boot or restart when connected to external dock

[Mauro Liberatore]

We have a few lenovo E14 and T14s at our work. All with Ubuntu cinnamon, same as this computer, with the same issue.

When we do a restart or a fresh boot, when the laptop is connected to the wavlink dock, the laptop will not boot (i.e. the screen shows the computer booting endlessly....).
We have to do a hard reboot to shut the computer down.

The computers will start properly after the hard reboot if the docks are unplugged.

Then, plugging in the wavlink dock (after an "unplugged" restart) seems to work without an issue.
