A month ago, I asked one of the Intel devs (airlied or ajax) and he
told me that SND (Sandy Bridge) is still very much a work in progress
and these bugs are known to the team. I didn't go CC the bugs on
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ at that point, but you could if you
wanted to track them.

It's annoying but I just use the keyboard as much as possible to work
around it while I wait patiently for the fix.
