Looks like the workaround I was using for a while.
In the original report I said I wasn't sending my kernel workaround patch
because of the previous disagreements about whether the kernel should work
around this type of bug. (In fact the current difficulty is the result of
changes being made without considering the special case that was created by
my first workaround... what a mess.) I also said I wasn't comfortable hacking
the Forth-based part of the boot sequence because I didn't know the language.
As it turned out, learning Forth was much easier than getting any guidance
from the kernel people on how to proceed with a workaround, so I wrote this:
=== CUT HERE ===
" /isa/8042" find-device
: open true ;
: close ;
: decode-unit ( addr len -- phys )
1 <> if
abort" invalid unit address"
then
c@
dup ascii 0 = if
drop
0 exit
then
ascii 1 = if
1 exit
then
abort" invalid unit address"
;
: encode-unit ( phys -- addr len )
dup 0 = if
" 0" exit
then
1 = if
" 1" exit
then
abort" invalid unit address"
;
1 encode-int
3 encode-int encode+
d# 12 encode-int encode+
3 encode-int encode+
" interrupts" property
0 0 " 0" " /isa/8042" begin-package
" keyboard" device-name
" keyboard" device-type
" pnpPNP,303" encode-string " compatible" property
0 encode-int " reg" property
end-package
0 0 " 1" " /isa/8042" begin-package
" mouse" device-name
" mouse" device-type
" pnpPNP,f03" encode-string " compatible" property
1 encode-int " reg" property
end-package
=== CUT HERE ===
Along with the previous device tree patch (pegasos-dts-20071018), this should
present the kernel with a properly filled-out 8042 device-tree node,
preventing the need for any more patching the next time the kernel changes
its mind about how to initialize the keyboard driver.
