Output from alsa-info, lspci, lsusb and selected codecs.

Description of problem:
After switching to the kernel 4.11.
At each boot, my laptop produces the phrase "configuration changed - restart the system". After that, the BIOS (UEFI) resets all the settings to default values. This never happened on the kernels 4.10 and older.

Hardware: ThinkPad S5-S540
All other info see attachment.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bluez
snd_hda_codec_realtek

4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 17 16:32:11 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:
Boot-up with the kernel 4.11.

Additional info:
I found a combination of OS settings so that it does not happen.

1. 
cat /etc/modprobe.d/black-sound.conf 
blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek

2. 
never turn off the Bluetooth adapter when the computer is turned off or
disable the Bluetooth adapter in the BIOS, completely.

Maybe it's just a defect of my equipment, or maybe it's a bug in the kernel. Unfortunately, I do not have enough knowledge to localize the problem more concretely.
