I finally got the time to try this out. Releasing the keys in suspend
also solves our problem. Would such patch work for the USB keyboard
case you described? Theoretically, I think it should, right?

So, basically:

static int input_dev_suspend(struct device *dev)
 {
        struct input_dev *input_dev = to_input_dev(dev);
 
-       mutex_lock(&input_dev->mutex);
-
-       if (input_dev->users)
-               input_dev_toggle(input_dev, false);
-
-       mutex_unlock(&input_dev->mutex);
+       input_reset_device(input_dev);
 
        return 0;
 }
 
 static int input_dev_resume(struct device *dev)
 {
-       struct input_dev *input_dev = to_input_dev(dev);
-
-       input_reset_device(input_dev);
-
        return 0;
 }

Should I send the patch?
