Freeze if Thunderbolt 3 dock is unplugged while suspended - Ubuntu 22.04

In this Tutorial:
Solution #5 Update the BIOS settings & check the Thunderbolt config.
https://bytexd.com/using-thunderbolt-3-or-4-on-ubuntu/

Thanks

Unfortunately it didn't fix it.

The instructions in the tutorial said:
    Enable Thunderbolt Technology Support
    Enable Thunderbolt Adapter Boot Support
    Enable Thunderbolt Adapter Pre-boot Modules

I already had the first, but enabled the others, then retested but the result is the same - it still freezes on resume.

The errors on the black screen are:

xhci_hcd PCI post-resume error -19!
xhci_hcd HC died; cleaning up
PM: dpm_run_callback(): pci_pm_resume+0x0/0x100 returns -19
xhci_hcd PM: failed to resume async: error -19

I just notice Dell have released a new BIOS version recently, so I'll try to upgrade.

Update: after upgrading the BIOS and all other firmware to latest versions, the problem persists.

Searching some more, it seems similar in some ways to this issue:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216728

According to the info on the bug report what kernel are you using on Ubuntu ?
Terminal:
lsb_release -a; uname -a; python3 --version

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

$ uname -a
Linux computer 5.15.0-52-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 13 08:03:55 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ python3 --version
Python 3.10.6

What are the lines immediately preceding the crash call trace in the system log?

A potential solution might be to create script that is automatically run immediately before entering sleep mode and which unloads the driver that is crashing, and another script that reloads this driver at wakeup time.

(another possibility for identifying the driver(s) in question is checking what happens when undocking, which drivers are unloaded resp. which drivers are loaded when docking)

Thanks

I did try to disable the xhci before suspend, i found this script that I thought did what I needed:
https://gist.github.com/ioggstream/8f380d398aef989ac455b93b92d42048

It didn't seem to work, but I wasn't really sure if it was targetting the right device. I will look into it further, and your other suggestion too.

Here are the lines from the syslog, the call trace is toward the bottom:

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.

For reference this one solved it, from https://askubuntu.com/a/1089078/1551114 :
