Say Y here if you want to have raw access to serio ports, such as
AUX ports on i8042 keyboard controller. Each serio port that is
bound to this driver will be accessible via a char device with
major 10 and dynamically allocated minor. The driver will try
allocating minor 1 (that historically corresponds to /dev/psaux)
first. To bind this driver to a serio port use sysfs interface:
echo -n "serio_raw" > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serioX/drvctl
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called serio_raw.
