Some background first: The original XT keyboards used what we call
scancode set #1 today. The PC/AT keyboards introduced scancode set #2,
but for compatibility, its controller translated scancodes back to
set #1 by default. Newer keyboards (maybe all we have to deal with)
also support switching the scancode set.
This means the translation option in the controller and the scancode
set selection in the keyboard have to match. In libpayload, we only
support set #1 scancodes. So we either need the controller's trans-
lation on and set #2 selected in the keyboard, or the controller's
translation off and set #1 selected in the keyboard.
Valid configurations:
* SET #1 + XLATE off
* SET #2 + XLATE on
Both with and without the PC_KEYBOARD_AT_TRANSLATED option, we were
only configuring one of the two settings, leaving room for invalid
configurations. With this change, we try to select scancode set #2
first, which seems to be the most supported one, and configure the
controller's translation accordingly. We try to fall back to set #1
on failure.
We also keep translation disabled during configuration steps to
ensure that the controller doesn't accidentally translate confi-
guration data.
On the coreboot side, we leave the controller's translation at its
default setting, unless DRIVERS_PS2_KEYBOARD is enabled. The latter
enables the translation unconditionally. For QEMU this means that
the option effectively toggles the translation, as QEMU's controller
has it disabled by default. This probably made a lot of earlier
testing inconsistent.
Fixes: commit a95a6bf646 (libpayload/drivers/i8402/kbd: Fix qemu)
The reset introduced there effectively reverted the scancode
selection made before (because 2 is the default). It's unclear
if later changes to the code were only necessary to work
around it.
