Then reboot and plug the dock to a Dell laptop through TB bus, open the gnome-control-center and select the sound, we can see the USB headphone and USB Lineout from output device tab and USB Mic from input device tab. And both USB output and input work well.

[Fix] For Linux kernel: Cherry-picked 3 upstream patches, these patches add the longname of the sound card for the dock station. For alsa-lib: Cherry-picked 3 upstream patches from alsa-lib, these will add ucm configuration files for Dell WD15&19, and change the SPDIF conf in the USB-AUDIO.conf. [Test Case] Open the gnome-sound-setting, we can choose headphone-usb and lineout-usb from UI, and play sound via these devices [Regression Potential] Very low, these patches come from upstream, and the change is only specific to WD15 and WD19 dock station.
