libinput bug: timer offset negative

Hey, I use libinput as touchpad driver and I think it causes my laptop to freeze sometimes. The freeze indeterministically occurs iff I close the lid (which causes the laptop to suspend to RAM) and open it again after some time. This only happens rarely, most of the times when I open the lid, everything works as expected. The freeze is a black screen and it is not possible to switch to a tty.
The reason why I think libinput is the problem, is because the Xorg.0.log shows in the last line the error:

[  5086.062] (EE) libinput bug: timer offset negative (-78702)

Any idea how I could prevent this bug? I should also note that I use libinput 1.5.4-1, instead of 1.6, because 1.6 caused many problems. Any chance, this bug might be fixed in the uptodate version?

Re: libinput bug: timer offset negative

I've been having the same issue in the last week or so. My laptop will freeze, with the HDD activity light on solid, and I need to force a power off.

The last lines of my logs are (with a few unrelated entries omitted):

I should note I have extra/libinput 1.7.2-1 and extra/xf86-input-libinput 0.25.1-1 installed.
