The basic strategy for input is to keep the device marked busy. The bulk of the patch is for output, the work around for the release stuff and synchronization.One big problem we always faced with autosuspend for keyboards is that most of them were not able to autoresume quickly enough to avoid losing keystrokes. Isn't that still a problem?
For some keyboards that seems to be a limitation of the hardware nothing can be done about. Others do work, for example 046d:c312. Generally as autosuspend is now disabled by default this is user space's problem. IMHO the main use case for autosuspend of keyboards will be synchronized with the screen saver.
