There have been several reports about keyboard not working on 9 types of
Lenovo Yoga / XiaoXinPro / IdeaPad (14", Intel) laptops. Here is a dmesg
log that illustrates the problem on a Yoga 14sIHU 2021:
https://gist.github.com/yescallop/5a97d010f226172fafab0933ce8ea8af

At first the KBD port was successfully set up by `i8042`, but then the
first initialization attempt by `atkbd` failed:

    [    2.698474] i8042: [17] f2 -> i8042 (kbd-data)
    [    2.698678] i8042: [17] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1)
    [    2.698746] i8042: [17] 83 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1)
    [    2.698767] i8042: [17] 60 -> i8042 (command)
    [    2.698856] i8042: [17] 66 -> i8042 (parameter)
    [    2.698951] i8042: [17] 60 -> i8042 (command)
    [    2.699092] i8042: [17] 67 -> i8042 (parameter)

It seems that the i8042 implementation on the laptop omitted the byte
0xab from its response to the Get ID command, thus making atkbd_probe()
fail on receiving an invalid keyboard ID (should normally be 0xab83).

This situation went on for a few rounds when I pressed and released the
space key (scan code: 0x39 when pressed, 0xb9 when released). The sixth
time I pressed the space key, something different happened:

    [   48.188540] i8042: [13664] 39 <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1)
    [   48.188658] i8042: [13664] f2 -> i8042 (kbd-data)
    [   48.188998] i8042: [13664] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1)
    [   48.709743] i8042: [13821] ed -> i8042 (kbd-data)
    [   48.913069] i8042: [13882] 60 -> i8042 (command)
    [   48.913235] i8042: [13882] 66 -> i8042 (parameter)
    [   48.913446] i8042: [13882] 60 -> i8042 (command)
    [   48.913591] i8042: [13882] 67 -> i8042 (parameter)
    [   48.913672] i8042: [13882] fa <- i8042 (interrupt, 0, 0)

This time even the byte 0x83 was omitted, so the Get ID command failed
and atkbd_probe() tried to set the LEDs on the keyboard, but failed
again for not receiving an ACK to the command byte 0xed. However, when
i8042_port_close() was later called, an ACK was read from the KBD port,
which indicates that the i8042 implementation might have failed to raise
an interrupt for this ACK.

And the next time I released the space key, the byte 0x83 was omitted
again, but atkbd_probe() somehow succeeded in receiving an ACK to the
Set LEDs command, and the keyboard was finally initialized properly.

Until now, the only workaround is to boot with the kernel parameter
`i8042.dumbkbd`, which isn't very desirable as it disables the Caps Lock
LED. I have considered an alternative, generic fix that involves
flushing the keyboard buffer immediately after the Get ID command and
trying to set the LEDs even if the keyboard ID is invalid. This worked
on my laptop at least, but I really doubt that it won't cause any
regressions.

This patch adds a kernel parameter `atkbd.skip_id_check` that, when
enabled, skip the check of keyboard ID when probing and try to set the
LEDs directly, and adds quirks that enable the parameter by default on
`82NC` and `82TK` models, as these are the only models on which the
patch was tested to work.

Part of the patch is based on Bernhard's initial work.
