Hello

It works

[ 4300.811798] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 69 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0,
1) [427524]
[ 4300.812015] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: f2 -> i8042 (kbd-data) [427524]
[ 4300.937465] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fc <- i8042 (interrupt, 0,
1) [427537]
[ 4301.011188] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: ed -> i8042 (kbd-data) [427544]
[ 4301.107998] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: e9 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0,
1) [427554]
[ 4301.134320] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fc <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1) [42755

The IRQ1 counts are also progressing. Only /dev/input/event3 is not
bound to anything, and setkeycode logically fails

Maybe it requires a tweak in i8042 module to give key even even if
keyboard resent doesn't respond?

Something like a module parameter ?
