We had a bug in the driver, and thanks to this bug report it's now
fixed. Everyone, thanks for the report and testing! I hear a firmware
upgrade in the dock also fixes the issue, but it doesn't mean we didn't
have a bug.

As the fix ended up being my commit, I feel I should express my view on
the offered bounty. This is speaking solely for myself, not for my
employer or colleagues. Regardless of the firmware fix, I think it would
be unethical of me to accept any part of the bounty.

I am employed to work on the driver, and fixing issues like this is part
of the job. Personal prize money should not directly affect, or give an
impression that it would affect, the priorities I set and am given as an
employed developer. This is also a team effort. I contributed the fix,
but many developers were involved in the triage, and people who tested
the patches likely spent more time on this than I did! (Thanks again!)

All that said, I appreciate the offer and FreedomSponsors in general,
and I would have no qualms about accepting bounties for things I work on
in a hobbyist capacity.

If you still feel indebted for having made the offer, please consider
sponsoring some other task or donating to a charity of your choosing.

Thanks.

Title:
  Lenovo T440s freezes when connected to docking station

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This bug report looks to be for the same issue:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71267

  I came across the above bug report here:
  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1374408

  I'm running with a Thinkpad T440s and ultra dock with hdmi<->hdmi.  In
  my case if I dock when hdmi is connected to the dock, the mouse and
  keyboard freeze once connected.  When I undock they unfreeze.  If I
  dock when hdmi is not connected to the dock, the mouse and keyboard
  don't freeze.
