From 5ea2fc6491631d2c3f346dcb0d9d6edd44ccf4cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2009 11:36:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Input: i8042 - introduce a tougher reset Some touchpads don't reset right the first time (MSI Wind U-100 for example). This patch will retry the reset up to 5 times. In addition, on x86, we don't fail entire i8042 initialization if controller reset fails in hope that keyboard port will still be functional and user will still get a working keyboard. This is especially important on netbooks.
