the laptop keyboard and touchpad dont work after a suspend in wayland session.
when suspended by closing the lid the internal inputs stop working.

2. open the computer again
3. the inputs dont work

the inputs stop working.
however the external USB device are still working. The keyboard and touchpad start working after i go to the sddm screen using the USB mouse. The behavior is random when the suspending was done for a long time: about 10 mins.

But this works on X11?

Yes, it works perfectly on X11. This is the only thing stopping me from using wayland.

Cannot reproduce in a Wayland session with my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga.

Sorry for replying late..
I cannot recall any setting i changed which might cause this. However, later i tried with different kernel version {5.6.14 mainline arch}, i got no problem as well. However the problem still exists with the newer kernels {>5.6.15 MAINLINE and 5.4.42 LTS} which i tried. I have no idea what is causing this. and i can still reproduce the problem in my system.

Yep, I had a feeling it was a kernel issue. Please report it to the kernel developers in a bug report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/. Thanks!

Once, i thought i should report it as a kernel bug as well but since x11 works perfectly,i thought that i should submit it here.
Thank you for your time.
