One of the updated files had something to do with the keyboard.
If anyone has experienced the same problem and can offer a suggested fix please do so.

I seem to have just experienced this problem. Although it could be a coincidental hardware failure due to the way the fault appeared.
I left the PinePhone on overnight, it stayed up which is normal with both the phone and keyboard battery at full charge. The phone was NOT charging overnight.
This morning the keyboard does not work and the battery is not seen under Settings->Power although the PinePhone shows charging when the charger is disconnected from the keyboard's USB C connector.
The rate at which the reported % power on the PinePhone decreases suggests that it might still be drawing some current from the keyboard. While the decrease is slower than a solo PinePhone it is decreasing at a much higher rate than when the keyboard was connected and working as it should.
I still have the last image I installed on the phone on my computer. So I will dig out a spare SD card over the weekend and make a fresh install with the old image before mucking about with the fixes above. The main image is on the internal storage so I would need to back that up before making significant changes to it.
