Oh, I see. I now understand the source of my mistake. After patching the
GENERIC{,.MP} configs with your patch, I didn't recreate my CUSTOM
config. Thanks for explaining Miod.

I'll keep testing the patch. Maybe I can identify if there's a typing
pattern that's causing these freezes and repetitions.

On another note, I noticed that the trackpoint on the keyboard does not
work. Should it be working now that the keyboard is "working" or is this
something unrelated? And, are the 'pckbc: command timeout' messages on
the console related to this somehow?
