Andy, why did
you dig this out now?  Cleaning stale bugzilla/patchwork entries? :-)

Lukas, thanks a lot for your testing!

The patch popped up in regard to my search for some other stuff in Fedora
kernels. Fedora kernels (used to?) have this patch for years.

I just checked and we (Fedora) still have it, for some reason it is grouped
together with a bunch of secure boot patches which are very hard to
get upstream (we are still working on this, but it is a very slow
and painful process).

I guess we never re-tried pushing this upstream because it was grouped
together with the secure-boot stuff.

But it was originally submitted upstream and still is valid AFAICT.

The question is how to reproduce the issue?

I don't know I guess it speeds up the boot and maybe suppresses a bunch
of errors from trying to probe the non existent i8042 controller.

Bastien, do you remember what the issue was this patch fixes?

Regards,

Hans
