Yes, and we should support this case. The core of i8042 does.

We do not reset by default on x86 because BIOS takes care of this for us
and quite often firmware that emulates i8042 gets confused if we try to
reset it too. Non non-x86 we reset by default. I think we should do the
same for OF case (reset) and not use this property.

Right, the desc were carried over from older days to keep dmesg
familiar. With OF it is new platforms so just settle on a generic
description and use it instead of allowing to specify through DT.

I think active MUX is purely x86 concept, I have never heard of it being
used anywhere else.
