Issue description
When asked for luks password internal laptop keyboard is not working. Keyboard works in uefi, works in grub, works after luks but not when luks asks for password. The only workaround is to connect external usb keyboard and type in luks password. This problem seems to pop up some years ago and affects many laptops, can be easily googled, no solution or cause of the problem found so far. There are some recommendations to change order in HOOKS=“base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap encrypt filesystems fsck” in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf but this does not help at all or in rare cases causes internal keyboard to randomly work on luks pas prompt - lets say every 5 boot attempts or so.
Steps for reproducing the issue
setup is:
/boot is on unencrypted partition
/ is on encrypted

where CM storm is external keyboard used to type in luks password.
also I created same ticket on luks gitlab but as I already suspected this problem has nothing to do with luks/dm-crypt itself. Here is the link:
