A big problem with the current i8042 debugging option is that it outputs
data going to and from the keyboard by default. As a result, many dmesg
logs uploaded by users will unintentionally contain sensitive information
such as their password, as such it's probably a good idea not to output
data coming from the keyboard unless specifically enabled by the user.
Seems sensible.  Coupla trivial bits:

It's unclear this depends on i8042_debug.
Maybe add something like " (enabling requires i8042_debug=1)"
+#define str_dbg(str, data, format, args...)			\
+	do {							\
+		if (!i8042_debug)				\
+			break;					\
+								\
+		if (str & I8042_STR_AUXDATA || i8042_debug_kbd)	\
+			dbg("%02x " format, data, ##args);	\
+		else						\
+			dbg("** " format, ##args);		\
+	} while (0)
+#else
+#define str_dbg(str, data, format, args...) do { } while (0)
 #endif
This should probably go into i8042.h
where the dbg macro is #defined
