[patch 081/176] Input: i8042 - introduce notimeout blacklist for Dell Vostro V13

[Greg KH]

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx>

commit f8313ef1f448006207f12c107123522c8bc00f15 upstream.

i8042 controller present in Dell Vostro V13 errorneously signals spurious
timeouts.

Introduce i8042.notimeout parameter for ignoring i8042-signalled timeouts
and apply this quirk automatically for Dell Vostro V13, based on DMI match.

In addition to that, this machine also needs to be added to nomux blacklist.
