Hi,
this patch add PNP support for the i8042 driver in 2.6.10-rc1-mm5. Acpi is try before the pnp driver so if you don't disable ACPI or apply others pnpacpi patches, it won't change anything.
Please review it and apply if possible
Ok, my thoughts on this:
It's OK to keep the device allocated to this driver via the PnP subsystem, and not bother with releasing the code via __initcall.
I agree that if there is a way to enumerate the device, (like PnP, ACPI or OpenFirmware), we should use that instead of probing and using a platform device for the controller.
I think that we should drop the ACPI support from i8042, in favor of pnpacpi, because PnP is more generic and if the keyboard device was listed in PnPBIOS instead of ACPI, it'll still work.
Any news about this ?
