You asked me to adapt my previous patch, making it accept:

i8042.reset
i8042.reset={1,y,Y}
i8042.reset={0,n,N}

But, when using a charp as module parameter, it doesn't allocate
memory to i8042_reset when we don't use the equal sign. So, in this
case I can't tell if the user is using i8042.reset, or don't any
parameter (in this case it means to use I8042_RESET_ON_RESUME)

So, in this case, should we just change i8042.reset to accept 1,y,n?
This should solve the problem too (although I think people who already
use such parameter will complain...)

What do you think?

I attached my current diff here, by using a new kernel parameter
reset_mode. Besides the new parameter,It works great if I remove the
comment about the ASUS DMI info.

Thanks,
