In summary, the symptom is intermittent key events lost after resume
on some machines with synaptics touchpad (seems this is synaptics _only_),
and key events loss is due to serio port reconnect after psmouse sync lost.
Removing psmouse and inserting it back during the suspend/resume process
is able to work around the issue, so the difference between
psmouse_connect()
and psmouse_reconnect() is the key to the root cause of this problem.

After comparing the two different paths, synaptics driver has its own
implementation of synaptics_reconnect(), and the missing psmouse_probe()
seems significant, the patch below added psmouse_probe() to the reconnect
process, and has been verified many times that the issue could not be
reliably
reproduced.

There are two PS/2 commands in psmouse_probe():

  1. PSMOUSE_CMD_GETID
  2. PSMOUSE_CMD_RESET_DIS

Only the PSMOUSE_CMD_GETID seems to be significant. The
PSMOUSE_CMD_RESET_DIS is irrelevant to this issue after trying
several times.  So we have only implemented this patch to issue
the PSMOUSE_CMD_GETID so far.
