USB C Error on boot

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

Same. Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040Series) arrived recently. Running Tumbleweed. Wonder if it is causing my other (minor) issue:

“Battery at 99%, plugged in but still discharging” message pops up intermittently, but then says “Fully charged”.

Same. Laptop 13 (intel core ultra). Running either Rocky (with 6.11.6-1.el9.elrepo.x86_64) or Fedora. The issue is that it prevents me from using a device connected to it through USB-C directly. Bios is updated to 3.04 beta.

If I use a USB-C to USB-A dongle and a USB-A to USB-C to my device instead of USB-C to USB-C, it is working.

[Laptop FW-13 USB-C] ↔ [Device (USB-C)] ==> not working
[Laptop FW-13 USB-C] ↔ [USB-C → USB-A] ↔ [Device (USB-C)] ==> working

[ 2.188564] ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 256
[ 2.188572] ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5)

Is there any way to disable this behavior from the bios (I do not really need the PD directly, I would rather have a stable connexion).

Any updates on this issue, I get this problem also and it makes using external monitors via USBC to HDMI work irregularly. (Essentially when I see this the error the monitors are black but the os shows them as though they are there).
