i8042_init: PS/2 mouse not detected with ACPIPnP/PnPBIOS

[Paul Menzel]

Dear Linux folks,


On the Asus F2A85-M PRO Linux 5.9-rc8 (and previous versions) does not 
recognize a plugged in PS/2 mouse using the Plug & Play method. The PS/2 
keyboard is detected fine, and using `i8042.nopnp`, the PS/2 mouse also 
works.

But, the DSDT includes the “mouse device”. From

    acpidump > dump.bin; acpixtract dump.bin; iasl -d *dat; more dsdt.dsl

we get

                Device (PS2M)
                {
                    Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0F03") /* Microsoft 
PS/2-style Mouse */)  // _HID: Hardware ID
                    Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0F13") /* PS/2 Mouse */) 
// _CID: Compatible ID
                    Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
                    {
                        If ((IOST & 0x4000))
                        {
                            Return (0x0F)
                        }
                        Else
                        {
                            Return (Zero)
                        }
                    }

and the identifiers PNP0F03 and PNP0F13 are both listed in the array 
`pnp_aux_devids[]`. But adding print statements to 
`i8042_pnp_aux_probe()`, I do not see them, so the function does not 
seem to be called.

Hints for further debugging are much appreciated.


Kind regards,

Paul
