Subject: [PATCH 3.2 075/152] Input: i8042 - set up shared ps2_cmd_mutex
 for AUX ports

3.2.84-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@...il.com>

commit 47af45d684b5f3ae000ad448db02ce4f13f73273 upstream.

The commit 4097461897df ("Input: i8042 - break load dependency ...")
correctly set up ps2_cmd_mutex pointer for the KBD port but forgot to do
the same for AUX port(s), which results in communication on KBD and AUX
ports to clash with each other.

Fixes: 4097461897df ("Input: i8042 - break load dependency ...")
