[PATCH] When checking I8042 io port, use of_find_compatible_node() instead of of_find_node_by_type()

^^^^^^^^

Why do you need/want this at all?

>>>  	switch(base_port) {
>>>  	case I8042_DATA_REG:
>>> -		np = of_find_node_by_type(NULL, "8042");
>>> +		np = of_find_compatible_node(NULL, NULL, "pnpPNP,303");
>>> +		if (!np)
>>> +			np = of_find_compatible_node(NULL, NULL, "pnpPNP,f03");
>>> +		if (np) {
>>> +			parent = of_get_parent(np);
>>> +			of_node_put(np);
>>> +			np = parent;
>>> +		}

I don't know, but neither do you ;-)

Maybe you want to test for _either_ of the three devices?

A bit too harsh though...  Deprecate first, remove
later.

Never ever device_type.  "compatible" perhaps.  And
not a bare number, either.

I'm not sure what the Linux code here does exactly --
it seems to me you're allowing a legacy I/O port mapping
when legacy drivers probe for it, right?  Instead you
should change those drivers to not probe (perhaps by
refusing the I/O range access here), and be explicitly
instantiated from your device tree parsing code.
