Fingerprint sensor stops working

Hi there, I've got Xperia10 with most recent SFOS. My fingerprint works for a few days and afterwards it stops working. I noticed this usually happens when I use regular button and enter the security code (but not always).

There's not much in the logs... When I enter the Add fingerprint screen I can see this message:

Jan 29 08:35:59 Xperia10Plus-DualSIM systemd-udevd[20916]: conflicting device node '/dev/mapper/sailfish-home' found, link to '/dev/dm-1' will not be created
Jan 29 08:35:59 Xperia10Plus-DualSIM systemd-udevd[20920]: inotify_add_watch(9, /dev/dm-3, 10) failed: No such file or directory

Restarting the daemon does not help either...

Only way to get it working again is to restart the phone...
