After 8 years the problem obviously still persist on some devices.
I've updated the BIOS on my HP ZBook G6 recently and now the Arch Linux installation is running in this trouble with 6F.

I've read somewhere it has something to do with a connected USB device which is missing and the 6F is waiting for it, causing the CPU load

Tried to disable it via GRUB, but that is not working in 50% of the time after reboot. Sometimes works, sometimes not.
Installed it now as a service, let's see how this goes.
