[SOLVED] linux-4.7.3-1 & linux-lts-4.4.20-1 break passphrase entering

I have a LUKS on LVM setup (as described in this wiki article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm … KS_on_LVM) for encrypting my logical root and home partition on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro notebook. Everything worked fine until linux-4.7.2-1 and linux-lts-4.4.19-1.
If I boot under linux-4.7.3-1 or linux-lts-4.4.20-1, I'm not able to enter the passphrase anymore. After entering the passphrase and pressing the Enter button, nothing happens. Also pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete does not induce a reboot anymore, so I assume that the keyboard is not working...

Here are my activated hooks in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:

HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block encrypt lvm2 resume filesystems keyboard fsck"

Downgrading has solved the problem for the moment.
Does anyone know, how I can solve this problem in the long run?

Here are the bug reports.

Arch Linux: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50700
Upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153151

So it seems to be an upstream issue...
