Laptop keyboard not working to boot into Luks-encrypted device

Hello,

I just bought this HP Pavilion Laptop and immediately installed a working Arch Linux system with crypto_LUKS + LVM on top.

I have "autodetect" next to "keymap" and "keyboard" in my HOOKS array residing in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.

Also I have updated my system to recent Linux kernel and firmware.

However I am unable to type in my password for ~30 seconds until keyboard gets available.

I can type in my password immediately when I plug in external keyboard via USB.

What can I do to make my integrated Laptop keyboard make work immediately when LUKS password is required?

Do I need to add any driver to the MODULES array? I already tried to add some of the following without success:

$ lsmod | grep hid
i2c_hid_acpi           16384  0
mac_hid                16384  0
usbhid                 65536  0
hid_multitouch         32768  0
i2c_hid                32768  1 i2c_hid_acpi

Can you help me make work my keyboard on early boot?
