[ 124/173] x86, 8042: Enable A20 using KBC to fix S3 resume on some MSI laptops

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2012-12-28 19:45:37
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Dmitry Torokhov, Linus Torvalds

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ondrej Zary <redacted>

commit ad68652412276f68ad4fe3e1ecf5ee6880876783 upstream.

Some MSI laptop BIOSes are broken - INT 15h code uses port 92h to enable A20
line but resume code assumes that KBC was used.
The laptop will not resume from S3 otherwise but powers off after a while
and then powers on again stuck with a blank screen.

Fix it by enabling A20 using KBC in i8042_platform_init for x86.
