[PATCH] input: psmouse: create an 'enabled' sysfs attribute to squelch mouse

From: Andres Salomon <hidden>

From: Paul Fox <redacted>

on OLPC XO laptops, at least one model of touchpad (sentelic)
emits continuous jittery motion reports when the laptop is
configured in "ebook" mode.  the touchpad is inaccessible in
that configuration, so we simply disable it.

these motion reports will wake the SoC when put to sleep, so simply
ignoring the events is not a possibilty; the device must be disabled.

[dilinger@queued.net: drop psmouse_resync changes, add attribute comment,
 and add psmouse_cleanup workaround]

Can you switch the AUX serio port into manual bind mode (viqa sysfs) and
simply connect/disconnect the touchpad as needed (again via sysfs)?

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion.  We're in the process of testing that; it
does stop the touchpad from transmitting data, but there are some
reinit issues to be investigated.  Quoth pgf, "the added latency
due to the reinit when we enter/exit ebook mode might or might not be
acceptable.  and our touchpad (sentelic) needs some boot time
initialization from user-level -- we're not sure whether we'll need
to redo some or all of that.  (we do seem to lose the current values of
vscroll and hscroll, for instance.)"
