Title:
  USB suspend / resume with docking station and laptop lid closed

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The components:
  - Dell Precision M4800 laptop
  - Dell docking station, with USB keyboard attached

  Ubuntu 16.04 installed

  Test case A) Booting in Docking Station with laptop lid closed:
  ===============================================================
  Boot will proceed through unlocking disk encryption. When graphical user 
interface starts, screen will go black and start spewing `unable to enumerate 
USB device on port` messages

  Test case B) In docking station, close lid and resume:
  =====================================================
  (Boot sequence done with laptop lid open)
  If laptop lid is closed before resuming from suspend, screen will soon go 
black and start spewing `unable to enumerate USB device on port` messages

  Test case C) Suspend without docking station (this one works):
  ==============================================================
  1. Boot to laptop without docking station attached
  2. Suspend
  3. Attach to docking station with lid closed
  4. Resume

  C) is currently the only case where everything works properly.
