PATCH 1/1 Fix some bugs in the i8402 driver when no controller is present

If no controller is present, the i8402 driver should return immediately and not attempt to operate on the missing hardware.

In kbd_input_empty, the status register is checked every millisecond to see whether the input buffer is empty, up to a timeout which is tracked by decrimenting a counter each time the check is performed. The decrement is performed with a postfix -- operator, and the value of the counter is checked in place. That means that when the counter reaches zero and the loop terminates, it will actually be decrimented one more time and become -1. That value is returned as the return value of the function. That would give the right answer if it wasn't for that extra decrement because a timeout would indicate that the buffer never became empty.

This change fixes both of those bugs.

checkpatch doesn't like it because I was consistent with the existing incorrect style in the file. There are three or four options for how to handle this.

1. Match the current style and ignore checkpatch (what I've already done).
2. Fix the style on just the lines I've modified.
3. Fix the style within a "local" area around my changes, for some definition of local, along with my changes.
4. Submit a separate cleanup patch which fixes the style first.

What is the standard way of approaching this sort of situation? I'm ok with option 1 if you are since I already have that ready to go, and I'd be fine with 4 if you'd like to clean up this file first like you've been cleaning up some others. 2 and 3 would make the style in that file inconsistent and harder to read, but if that's standard practice I'll do that.

I think the standard we are now adopting (enforcing) is #4 - A two patch series consisting of a checkpatch cleanup of the file and checkpatch clean patch for the changes. Of course there are exceptions:

- The checkpatch cleanup would be too onerous (touches too many files, the patched file is too large, too close to release) and the bugfix is critical
- The bugfix covers too many files (again,
- The file is from another repository (typically Linux) and the patch has been applied to that repository (in which case, a commit reference is required in the patch summary)

I'm happy for Wolfgang to correct me

Graeme
