I've done that now.  I've sent you screenshots offlist.  Here's a brief
summary: The initial shutdown log output is essentially the same as the
transcription I posted upthread, except that it is interspersed with
messages from your patch like "Flush hid_reset+0x0/0x80".  Then comes:

ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S5
Flushing kacpid
Flushing kacpid_notify
Flushing kacpid_notify over, 0
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
workqueue events: flags=0x0
  pwq 4: cpus=2 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/256 refcnt=2
     pending: drm_fb_helper_diry_work
workqueue kacpid_notify: flags=0x0
  pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 refcnt=4185
     in-flight: 1578:acpi_os_execute_deferred
     delayed: acpi_os_execute_deferred, acpi_os_execute_deferred, ...

The "acpi_os_execute_deferred" messages were repeated many times in the
above line, then every 20-30 seconds again for several minutes.  Then
suddenly a call trace appeared which was similar but not identical to
the one I posted upthread, and each line of the trace was followed by
the line ", acpi_os_execute_deferred".  This went by quite quickly even
with the printk_delay I added, and I was unable to photograph the start
of it and couldn't get all of the subsequent output, but the screenshots
show some of it.  After several minutes of this output I again did a
hard reboot.
