So, I've re-read all the comments above (in particular #8) and the only
thing at this moment I can really think of (and that you somehow already
hint in your comments) is a BIOS issue.  The state of your hardware is
left in an unclean state and the device driver isn't able to recover
from that.  And the wistron_btns device driver pretty much invokes some
BIOS code in order to do its job, which further corroborates this
theory.

Is there a chance that you're not running the latest BIOS for your
hardware?  Could you check if there is a BIOS upgrade for you laptop?
