Black / blank screen is shown with a white mouse cursor, if USB-C is plugged in and computer waking up from suspend. If USB-C is temporarily unplugged afterwards, Plasma will show lock screen correctly and USB-C can be replugged immediately.
Does this happen when you're not running plasma and you suspend from a VT? Please set this bug status back to unconfirmed when replying

This seems to be resolved with the latest kernel, where the slowdown is just few seconds (e.g. 2-3) instead of 15-20 seconds. Linux 4.13.0-997-generic #201709072202 SMP Fri Sep 8 02:04:38 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks for the update; changing status.
