Description:

After an update to linux-5.11.2 I am not able to use the external monitors anymore.
Instead I get lots of these errors:

> kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Link Training Unsuccessful

and this error once:

> kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* CPU pipe C FIFO underrun


The docking station is a Dell WD19 connected via the USB-C connector.
As a graphics adapter I have an Intel HD 620.
Curiously on another machine with an Intel HD 630 the problem does not occur.

Downgrading to 5.10.16 gave me back the functionality for now.
I also tried the 5.11.3 kernel version from testing, without success.

Additional info:
lspci -v output:
