No problem, I agree this is better--just wasn't sure what you meant initially. > Your patch makes life slightly more complicated for people who want to > use the original hardware if the load the module but the hardware isn't > detected. That is true, but apparently nobody can think of a better solution (including me :)) and this bug has been open for two years. Having to rmmod in the corner case where the module gets loaded but no i8042 is present seems a small price to pay for having the keyboard work regardless of CONFIG_I8042=y or m. Right now, any distribution with CONFIG_I8042=m has a non-functional keyboard on Hyper-V Gen2 VMs, which is probably frustrating for (e.g.) Arch Linux users who find themselves unable to type and thus can't install their distribution.
