2.6.15.1: Frequent keyboard driver reset

I have Ali based Toshiba notebook. In dmesg I see frequent resets like:

input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input6
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input7
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input8

Interesting is I checked sysfs after having seen those messages and

{pts/0}% LC_ALL=C ll /sys/class/input
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 0 Jan 21 13:14 input1/
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 0 Jan 21 23:54 input8/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Jan 21 13:14 mice/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 Jan 22 00:02 mouse0 
- -> ../../class/input/input1/mouse0/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 Jan 22 00:02 ts0 -> ../../class/input/input1/ts0/

So it appears similar to SCSI - old instance is stuck and new instance is 
created.

How can I debug it further? System information:

 ( it has one modifed driver - i2c-ali1535 and custom config, mostly to turn 
off all unneeded drivers).

config and dmesg on request (not to spam with too long message); input related
