Public bug reported:

laptop: ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 - AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U
docking station: ThinkPad USB-C Dock 2. Gen.
external display: NE MultiSync EA275UHD
OS: Ubuntu 20.10 - kernel 5.8.0

Plugging the external display into one of the docking station's two
DisplayPort connectors leads to the screen resolution changing on the
laptop's builtin display and the external display waking up but showing
no picture and displaying "no-signal" after a bit.

Plugging the external display into the docking station's HDMI connector
leads to no visible reaction on either the external nor the builtin
display.

Plugging the external display into the laptop's builtin HDMI connector
works as expected. The external display is recognized and shows an
image.

I have recorded the output on `dmesg` during the steps mentioned above
and inserted explanations using `echo MSG >/dev/kmsg`. The output
follows at the end of the message. I believe `ubuntu-bug` should also
attach the full log.

All above modes of connection work as expected with the same laptop, dock, and 
display on Windows 10 (installed as dual boot along side Ubuntu).
All above modes of connection also work as expected with an older laptop 
(ThinkPad T470s - Ubuntu 20.04 - kernel 5.4.0), and the same dock and display.
This leads me to believe that this is not a hardware issue.

The following bug seems related, but seems to have been observed on
faulty hardware according to its author. Therefore, I decided to open a
separate bug report.
