I have written to the kernel development mailing list and now the
issue is solved in mainline from kernel 3.10.0. I'm not able to test
it because I don't use ubuntu anymore but looking at the kernel
version I can say that it is solved. Only  kernels between 3.5 and
3.10 have this problem, if I remember well, and there are some patches
that you can apply on these kernels to solve the problem:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2723671/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2723721/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2723751/

Title:
  [SONY Vaio SVZ1311C5E] plug and play with thunderbolt devices was
  working with 3.5 but is still not working with 3.8

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'm running a kubuntu raring on a sony vaio z series (svz1311c5e) and
  I also have the sony docking station.

  With the linux-kernel-3.5 I can have plug and play working with every
  devices of the docking station but upgrading to 3.8 the plug and play
  is still not working. If I connect the docking station before turning
  on the computer everithing works  but if I disconnect and reconnect it
  again every device in the docking station doesn't work.

  The docking station is connected through light peak (thunderbolt).
  Using the kernel 3.5 I can unplug and plug in the docking and every devices will be refreshed, except the usb hub which is still not working.  With the version 3.8 if I plug the docking station after the boot every device of the docking station doesn't work.

  Anyway everything works fine if I plug in the docking station before
  the boot.

  The plug and play of those devices doesn't work also with every
  vanilla kernel, so I think it's a patch introduced by ubuntu in the
  kernel version 3.5.

  In order to assure the support for every new vaio I suggest to include
  in your kernels also the last version of the module sony-laptop. This
  module is already included in main line but the version is outdated
  and several things don't work. I asked to the maintainer about that
  and he said that the module will be upgraded as soon as he can find
  the enough time to rewrite it in an acceptable way. Anyway the version
  provided by his git seems to be stable, or at least I had no problems
  with that.

  I suggest to include the last version of this module under the ubuntu
  kernel packages. You can find the last version here:
  http://git.kamineko.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-
  sony-2.6.git;a=summary

  Thank you for your support
