Hello Rafael,

I tested with that patch and the problem persists, when the laptop resumes it 
locks up (with a black screen). If I add acpi_apic_instance=2 acpi_osi=Linux 
as kernel boot options (as suggested by my dmesg) when it resumes I get back 
to a virtual term but I'm not able to log in. After entering my username it 
just hangs there.
