Hmm, nice. 12 years is a pretty typical time frame for finding bugs in
the powerpc tree ... o_O

Our ppc40x_defconfig has CONFIG_SERIO=m, but explicitly disables
CONFIG_SERIO_I8042. And walnut_defconfig disables CONFIG_SERIO.

So I guess it has a PS2 controller but most folks didn't use it?

I'm inclined to let the driver be selected, rather than carry a wart for
it. I doubt anyone will ever turn it on explicitly, and if they do they
can have fun debugging it.

So I'd drop this hunk.

The rest of the context is ^

Which makes it clear that your removal of the entire file results in no
change when WALNUT=n.

I'm not sure if anyone really maintains that code, but this is all PPC
really so I think we could merge it.

Do you want to send a proper SOB'ed patch?

cheers
