keyboard doesn't work after sleep/suspend (again)

I had asked this question before in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=304348
Now this issue continues to exists on my system. The method which helped me that time doesn't work now.

To overview the issue, it is like that: whenever i put my system to sleep/suspend or it puts itself, i am not able to use keyboard in login screen. Each time i had to select switch user and then shutdown.

Here is the journalctl output of one of those times.

Re: keyboard doesn't work after sleep/suspend (again)

Nov 19 15:31:25 arch-btw kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Nov 19 15:31:26 arch-btw systemd-sleep[1723]: System returned from sleep operation 'suspend-then-hibernate'.
Nov 19 15:31:26 arch-btw kernel: atkbd serio0: Failed to deactivate keyboard on isa0060/serio0
Nov 19 15:31:26 arch-btw kernel: PM: suspend exit

can you still manually (via ssh) apply the previous workaround after the wakeup?

Re: keyboard doesn't work after sleep/suspend (again)

I am not able to do this, but i have this clue:

When keyboard is not working, I plugged an external keyboard. So this time i was able to login.

Re: keyboard doesn't work after sleep/suspend (again)

I am not able to do this

Like in "the module will not reload then either" or in "i have no opportunity to remote login"?

When keyboard is not working, I plugged an external keyboard. So this time i was able to login.

This is also a way to try to manually reload the module in order to revive the keyboard.

Edit, D'Ohhh!

Now this issue continues to exists on my system

"continues" or "re-emerged"?
Did this happen w/ an update and is the LTS kernel affected?
The atkbd module was compiled into the kernel w/ later releases.
