Help text

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.
