Jani, my earlier comment was a false alarm.  My apologies.  I confirm that your patches work very well for my T440s with an Ultra Dock (firmware not updated).  I tested with following two scenarios:
1. Booting while docked and then using xrandr to split the display.
2. Booting undocked and then dock and use xrandr to split the display.
The changes worked well for both scenarios, albeit some minor delay which is very much acceptable.

As mentioned by Tso earlier, there were some "*ERROR* too many retries, giving up" messages.  Here are the dmesg outputs for the above two scenarios.

This bug may now be closed.

Thanks!

  Lenovo T440s freezes when connected to docking station

  Triaged

Bug description:
  This bug report looks to be for the same issue:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71267

  I came across the above bug report here:
  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1374408

  I'm running with a Thinkpad T440s and ultra dock with hdmi<->hdmi.  In
  my case if I dock when hdmi is connected to the dock, the mouse and
  keyboard freeze once connected.  When I undock they unfreeze.  If I
  dock when hdmi is not connected to the dock, the mouse and keyboard
  don't freeze.
