Hi Dmitry,

Instead of hardcoding PA-RISC specific keycode tables into atkbd via
compile-time inclusion, have the gscps2 PS/2 port driver attach a
linux,keymap software node device property to the serio device when
a keyboard port is registered. This allows atkbd to dynamically fetch
and apply the custom keymap when probing the port using generic
firmware property helpers, removing architecture-specific hacks from
generic keyboard driver code.
Co-locate the keymap definitions with the serio port driver by moving
hpps2atkbd.h from drivers/input/keyboard/ to drivers/input/serio/.
To handle the five conflicting keys on RDI PrecisionBook laptops without
runtime model string checks or duplicate keymap tables in memory, add
CONFIG_SERIO_GSCPS2_RDI_KEYCODES to drivers/input/serio/Kconfig and
resolve the conflicting keycodes at compile time via preprocessor
macros.

v2:
- instead of using device_create_managed_software_node() that has issue
if serio port is unregistered before it is fully registered, switch to
creating software node when initializing the driver and attach it to
the serio port
- added keycodes lost in movement (0x92 - silently ignored, 0xca -
KEY_KPSLASH, 0xda - KEY_KPENTER).

Thanks for cleaning it up.
Your solution is much cleaner and gets the hacks away.
I'll test and report back very soon.

Doesn't it makes sense to move the contents of the new file
"hpps2atkbd.h" directly in here instead of keeping in own header?
