Subject: drivers: staging: nvec: remove bogus reset command for PS/2 interface

From: Paul Fertser <[email protected]>

commit d8f8a74d5fece355d2234e1731231d1aebc66b38 upstream.

This command was sent behind serio's back and the answer to it was confusing atkbd probe function which lead to the elantech touchpad getting detected as a keyboard.

To prevent this from happening just let every party do its part of the job.
