Valve Index initialized in unusable state on boot

Hello!

I have this issue where the Valve Index VR headset is not recognized when I boot my system with the Valve Index plugged in.
If I remove it before boot and plug it back in after boot there is no issue.

When it boots into this unusable state it shows up like this in drm_info:

This is the VR headset:

In this unusable state the headset is not recognized in SteamVR and I have to unplug it and then plug it in again for it to be recognized correctly.

For reference - this is what it looks like after I unplug it and then plug it back in (working state):

This is the error I get when I launch SteamVR when the headset is in this unusable state:

I also reported this to KDE bugtracker but they suspect this to be a driver/hardware issue:
