Redmi phone not recognizing USB-C port on ASUS Linux laptop

Hello,

when plugging in my phone to my laptop using a USB-C to USB-C cable, the phone only charges, but doesn't offer data transfer, USB tethering or get recognized on the laptop. However, if I plug an unpowered USB hub in the USB-C port, and then plug the phone in the hub using the same USB-C cable, everything works fine.

I've tried changing default USB behavior on the phone, but it doesn't help.

Any ideas appreciated.
