That's weird. I do not see this, by either closing the lid or directly calling 'systemctl suspend'.
On my system, i2c-i801 is also compiled as a module but psmouse is not (directly in vmlinuz).
[KT] : It's good to know your system doesn't meet this problem. 
     My SMbus laptop is an engineer sample in 2015, and PM tell me that NFC attaches to the same bus.
     I guess it's a single case because it's not a stable platform.

If the SMBus adapter is failing, it is somewhat expected. Reloading psmouse will force a re-trigger of the SMBus probe function, but if the underlying communication fails, there is no way for psmouse to know it failed, so the PS/2 node will disappear. And the SMBus device will not be there.
[KT] : It switch to PS/2 interface after rmmod/modprobe psmouse.

Just to be sure, what happens if you rmmod/modprobe elan_i2c instead of i2c_i801?
[KT] :I tried rmmod/modprobe elan_i2c first , but can't recover touchpad. 
    No error printed in the dmesg. I will add more message to check it later.

And which kernel are you running? On a vanilla 4.16 + Dmitry's next branch I do not see such issues.
[KT]: I use 4.15, I may try 4.16 later.

If reloading elan_i2c doesn't fix the situation, it must be in i2c_i801. But this is weird that this happens on your platform but not on my t480s going into S3.
[KT] I think so. As I mention that I can't see bus signal on scope. That make me guess it's the bus adaptor issue.
    It's an early-stage engineer system, power Issue will be expected.

Cheers,
Benjamin
