Sorry about the delay. How about we rework it a bit and make flush
return success/error instead of number of bytes read, like in the patch
below?
Thanks.

Input: i8042 - i8042_flush fix for a full 8042 buffer
From: Andrey Moiseev <o2g.org...@gmail.com>
When 8042 internal data buffer is full, the driver
erroneously decides that the controller is not present.
i8042_flush returns the number of flushed bytes, which is
in 0 - I8042_BUFFER_SIZE range inclusive. Therefore, i8042_flush
has no way to indicate an error. Moreover i8042_controller_check
takes initially full buffer (i8042_flush returned
I8042_BUFFER_SIZE) as a sign of absence of the controller.
Let's change i8042 to return success/error instead and make sure
we do not return error prematurely.
