Did this get merged, or otherwise fixed?  Even though the code in there has
changed quite a bit, it looks to my untrained eye like the fix is still
applicable?


From: Alan Curry <pacman@TheWorld.com>

As of 2.6.22 the kernel doesn't recognize the i8042 keyboard/mouse
controller on the PegasosPPC.  This is because of a feature/bug in the OF
device tree: the "device_type" attribute is an empty string instead of
"8042" as the kernel expects.  This patch (against 2.6.22.1) adds a
secondary detection which looks for a device whose *name* is "8042" if
there is no device whose *type* is "8042".

And ALan says that 2.6.22 is bust, but this patch no won't apply there so
if we want to fix 2.6.22.x then Alan's original patch would be needed.
