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. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
