I think I've fixed the problem. You had to remove the following three patches: pnp-replace-pnp_resource_table-with-dynamically-allocated-resources.patch pnp-remove-ratelimit-on-add-resource-failures.patch pnp-dont-sort-by-type-in-sys-resources.patch I'll post a new set of four patches (I added one patch to fix this problem) to replace those. They should go at the same point in the series as the three you removed.
