[ltp] T480s with a Thunderbolt 3 dock

[Rubin Abdi]

I recently got this TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 dock from CalDigit...

http://shop.caldigit.com/us/TS3Plus-US05

And after about an hour of fumbling around in the BIOS I've gotten it
working. First you'll want to enable security over Thunderbolt 3, and then
turn off any sort of legacy or pre bios support. Next up once you boot up
you'll need to tell the kernel to white list the device you're plugging
into. I found this post here super useful...

Everything on this dock works, including running a 4K monitor through
either the Thunderbolt 3 port or DisplayPort. I haven't had the external
display wig out or anything like that after a week of using it. Audio and
ethernet work great, though I haven't had a chance to test out the SD card
slot.

The only thing I wish were different was the inclusion of a Thunderbolt 3
cable that was slightly longer than 1ft.

Anyhow, thought I'd share.
