Hi Dmitry,

I see some OF code in i8042-sparcio.h file. There are node definitions
like "kb_ps2", "keyboard", "kdmouse", "mouse". Are these documented
somewhere?

Great if vt8500 is not unique with OF bindings for i8042. The code from
sparc even looks compatible, only register offsets are hardcoded for
specific machine. Is it possible to read offsets from Device Tree using
these existing bindings without dealing with the kernel configuration?

Regards,
Roman
