This is definitely due to the copying of the non-existent OF
device tree (I appreciate the symbolic backtrace, thanks).

Fixing this is trivial. I just poured half a cup of coffee
into my laptop though, so at moment I don't have ease
access to the source. I'll push a fix if/when the keyboard
starts to function properly again... So far I have recovered
the use of most keys but the 'fn' key seems to be stuck in the
down position and the alt key has turned into a mouse button :-).

In the meantime, you could probably fix the problem by commenting
out a line in main/src/prom.c (probably in prom_init()). As an
alternative, you could make the function in src/kmod/Linux/misc.c
which is used to copy device tree nodes return NULL.
