input patch & arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c

[Johann D. <jo...@Do...>]

I'have just started to build an input patch for kernel 2.4.17. Keyboard
handling on PCs is still bugging me, but nothing too difficult.

While going through files, I noticed that dmi_scan.c seems to lag
behind. It's still synchronized with kernel 2.4.13. Anyway, what was the
point of having this file in linuxconsole ?
My guess is that the function broken_ps2_resume calls a pckbd function,
which may well be missing when using the new input stuff.

Am I right ? Is that the only reason ?
