I use one of these with a T470 (20HD000LUK), and it mostly works.  I use
the ethernet, USB 3 hub, dual DisplayPort out, power in.  I have not
tested the audio, but PulseAudio detects it.  Very occationally docking
or undocking confuses Linux enough that I need to restart, but doing
this only when the system is on seems to resolve that.

Also, rather annoyingly, when you unplug the C cable, the hub powers off
meaning some things lose state.  Other than that, no complaints.
