So this is a ps2 -> USB adapter for the keyboard, right?

Why would something be overflowing?  These devices should "just work" as
this is an old thing.

Have you tried turning autosuspend off for these devices?  Lots of old
USB devices do not like that at all.  I don't know what "tlp" does with
them, but I would suggest blacklisting them from it and see if that
resolves the issue.
