I would like to request Ubuntu devs to please cherry pick the changes

Public bug reported:
Basically a null pointer dereference was happening while using a lenovo
usb-c dock. The issue has been addressed upstream with commit:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/386e15a650447f53de3d2d8819ce9393f31650a4
Apparently the dock kept sending altmode information
