[ Upstream commit b1884583fcd17d6a1b1bba94bbb5826e6b5c6e17 ]
The i8042 module exports several symbols which may be used by other modules.
Before this commit it would refuse to load (when built as a module itself) on systems without an i8042 controller.
This is a problem specifically for the asus-nb-wmi module. Many Asus laptops support the Asus WMI interface. Some of them have an i8042 controller and need to use i8042_install_filter() to filter some kbd events. Other models do not have an i8042 controller (e.g. they use an USB attached kbd).
Before this commit the asus-nb-wmi driver could not be loaded on Asus models without an i8042 controller, when the i8042 code was built as a module (as Arch Linux does) because the module_init function of the i8042 module would fail with -ENODEV and thus the i8042_install_filter symbol could not be loaded.
This commit fixes this by exiting from module_init with a return code of 0 if no controller is found. It also adds a i8042_present bool to make the module_exit function a no-op in this case and also adds a check for i8042_present to the exported i8042_command function.
The latter i8042_present check should not really be necessary because when builtin that function can already be used on systems without an i8042 controller, but better safe then sorry.
