Reader works initially on reboot, but stops working after suspend/sleep #187
Description
I am using a ThinkPad T25, on Arch Linux with Plasma, with Validity Sensors 138a:0097 reader. I am able to install successfully, and the fingerprint reader works great initially, but as soon as I put the laptop into sleep mode, it quits working goes completely unresponsive, and will just softlock the computer if I don't have a timeout set for fingeprint auth.
Here is the output of systemctl status python3-validity:

This would indicate that the reader should be functioning normally, but as stated I can't get it to actually function. Running fprintd-enroll when it's in this state returns this:
Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Enrolling right-index-finger finger.
Enroll result: enroll-failed
Services open-fprintd-suspend and open-fprintd-resume are both enabled and started. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
