Looks like she installed some tool that attempts to change the power state via sysfs during init which could happen before the driver has finished loading. The attached kernel patch should fix it.

Hi,

that was probably me, installing the "tlp" thinkpad tool remotely. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction: disabling solved it for now.
The attached kernel patch should fix it.
Unfortunately wasn't able to test because she had bandwidth bottlenecks and I had next to no time to fix it.. Might be able to test it on my thinkpad in a while.
