Subject: input: fix aux port detection with some i8042 chips
From: Roland Scheidegger <sroland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The i8042 driver fails detection of the AUX port with some chips, because
they apparently do not change the I8042_CTR_AUXDIS bit immediately.  This
is known to affect at least HP500 / HP510 notebooks, consequently the
built-in touchpad will not work.  The patch will simply reread the value
until it gets the expected value or a retry limit is hit, without touching
other workaround code in the same area.
