I have looked more into that header (i8042-sparcio.h). Probably 8042 is
broken for SPARCs, because there is the platform_driver registered twice
with the same name "i8042". One driver is registered by
platform_create_bundle() from i8042.c and another from
platform_driver_register() from the i8042_sparcio.h. Kernel prints a
message "Error: Driver 'i8042' is already registered, aborting...".

I have not tested SPARC version of the kernel, just used the same code
for ARM, to rewrite my patch set.

There is no bindings at all for i8042, because a binding requires
the 'compatible' property to be defined, according to ePAPR. In the
SPARC header there is an ancient surrogate with searching by name
instead of the 'compatible' property (I understand, no standards were
defined for that hardware those days).
