There could be many reasons for restart depending on the hardware / OS X you're installing.
1) Haswell - XCPM early reboot
2) High Sierra FixHeaders
3) ACPI Patching
etc...
Boot with verbose + debug 0x100 mode to help determine the KP / reboot issue
You are not booting from that bootpack. It's showing MBP8,1, the bootpack has SMBIOS set to MBP8,2
Check if you have an EFI folder on the root of your installer.
Try replacing bootpack with this, goes into /EFI/Clover, overwrite your existing.
Worked on HS, so it should work on Sierra as well
E6420_Disabled-NVS_HS.zip
Not removed, but new CC moved it to the bottom next to "AutoMerge". I guess you'll need to use latest Clover 4438 to sync with latest CC 4.61
You do use AppleBacklightInjectoer.kext, it shows in your kexcache.log
that should be supported natively on HS.
on Diskutil, click on show all devices, see if it shows up. If not, it might need to be initialized first either from windows or linux.
HDMI video or audio?
Try adding this to kextToPatch for HDMI in Config file
Card reader not supported yet.
attach the debug with the HDMI monitor attached
add SSDT-ALC256.aml to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched
and CodecCommander to /L/E
Repair permission and rebuild cache
Note: you'll have to add SSDT-ALC256.aml to the SSDT sortedOrder in the Config file
That's for sound but as far as touchpad after sleep, I don't have a fix.
Seeker_pl might have to chime in if he's having the same issue.
CodecCommander.kext.zip
SSDT-ALC256.aml
Not sure about Mic, but remove VoodooHDA and replace it with AppleALC.kext + Lilu.kext
Set inject layout-id to 13, 28 or 56 in the Config file under Devices
