If that is the problem, the following patch will hopefully fix it.
This patch is against .31-rc4 but will need only minor changes to
apply against .30.

Subject: hp-wmi: check that an input device exists in resume handler

Some systems may not support input events, or registering the input
handler may have failed. So check that an input device exists before
trying to set the docking and tablet mode state during resume.
