I had the same problem with my 4.7,I resolved setting the flag NO_RESET on atkbd driver:


 Driver Flags
     The atkbd driver accepts the following driver flags.  They can be set
     either in the kernel configuration file (see config(8)), or else in the
     User Configuration Menu at boot time (see boot(8)).

     bit 0 (FAIL_IF_NO_KBD)
           By default the atkbd driver will install even if a keyboard is not
           actually connected to the system.  This option prevents the driver
           from being installed in this situation.

-->     bit 1 (NO_RESET)
           When this option is given, the atkbd driver will not reset the key-
           board when initializing it.  It may be useful for laptop computers
           whose function keys have special functions and these functions are
           forgotten when the keyboard is reset.

     bit 2 (ALT_SCANCODESET)
           Certain keyboards, such as those on some ThinkPad models, behave
           like the old XT keyboard and require this option.


Hope it help.
