Thank you for reporting this.

Can you try adding "i8042.dumbkbd=1" to your kernel commandline?

This should at least lead to the device not disappearing from

"sudo libinput list-devices"

The next question is if the keyboard will still actually
work after suspend/resume with "i8042.dumbkbd=1". If it
stays in the list, but no longer works then there is
a problem with the i8042 controller; or interrupt
delivery to the i8042 controller.

If "i8042.dumbkbd=1" somehow fully fixes things, then I guess
my atkbd driver fix for other laptop keyboards is somehow
causing issues for yours.

If "i8042.dumbkbd=1" fully fixes things, can you try building
your own 6.7.0 kernel with commit 936e4d49ecbc:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=936e4d49ecbc8c404790504386e1422b599dec39

reverted?

Regards,

Hans
