Ha! good catch, I missed this bit in the patch that you already
identified. Can you apply it and see if it makes a difference?

sony-laptop: do not poke the keyboard backlight on resume
Follow-up to 294d31e8227c9892a89d6b3e58d17886b79ea4e6, avoid messing up
the state on resume leaving it to what was before suspending as it's
likely that we don't know what value we should write to the EC
registers.
