Input: i8042 - add deferred probe support
[ Upstream commit 9222ba68 ] We've got a bug report about the non-working keyboard on ASUS ZenBook UX425UA. It seems that the PS/2 device isn't ready immediately at boot but takes some seconds to get ready. Until now, the only workaround is to defer the probe, but it's available only when the driver is a module. However, many distros, including openSUSE as in the original report, build the PS/2 input drivers into kernel, hence it won't work easily. This patch adds the support for the deferred probe for i8042 stuff as a workaround of the problem above. When the deferred probe mode is enabled and the device couldn't be probed, it'll be repeated with the standard deferred probe mechanism. The deferred probe mode is enabled either via the new option i8042.probe_defer or via the quirk table entry. As of this patch, the quirk table contains only ASUS ZenBook UX425UA. The deferred probe part is based on Fabio's initial work. BugLink: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1190256 Signed-off-by:Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Tested-by:
