[PATCH 4.4 05/24] Input: i8042 - allow insmod to succeed on devices without an i8042 controller

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit b1884583fcd17d6a1b1bba94bbb5826e6b5c6e17 ]

The i8042 module exports several symbols which may be used by other
modules.

Before this commit it would refuse to load (when built as a module itself)
on systems without an i8042 controller.

This is a problem specifically for the asus-nb-wmi module. Many Asus
laptops support the Asus WMI interface. Some of them have an i8042
controller and need to use i8042_install_filter() to filter some kbd
events. Other models do not have an i8042 controller (e.g. they use an
USB attached kbd).

Before this commit the asus-nb-wmi driver could not be loaded on Asus
models without an i8042 controller, when the i8042 code was built as
a module (as Arch Linux does) because the module_init function of the
i8042 module would fail with -ENODEV and thus the i8042_install_filter
symbol could not be loaded.

This commit fixes this by exiting from module_init with a return code
of 0 if no controller is found.  It also adds a i8042_present bool to
make the module_exit function a no-op in this case and also adds a
check for i8042_present to the exported i8042_command function.

The latter i8042_present check should not really be necessary because
when builtin that function can already be used on systems without
an i8042 controller, but better safe then sorry.
