That patch says

so the comment doesn't agree with the code: it sets
all flags in the command byte, not just the system
flag.  Perhaps importantly, it disables the keyboard
clock.  Why not do a read-modify-write sequence instead?
Something like

                outb(0x20, 0x64);       /* read Controller Command Byte 
*/
                udelay(50);
                kb_wait();
                udelay(50);
                u8 cmd = inb(0x60);
                udelay(50);
                kb_wait();
                udelay(50);
                outb(0x60, 0x64);       /* write Controller Command Byte 
*/
                udelay(50);
                kb_wait();
                udelay(50);
                outb(cmd | 0x04, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
