Upon receiving a PS/2 command the device and controller are supposed to stop sending normal data (scancodes or movement packets) and instead immediately start delivering ACK/NAK and command response. Unfortunately often EC has an output buffer which may contain latched data by the time the EC receives a command from the host. The kernel used to ignore such data, but that may cause "stuck" keys if the data dropped happens to be a break code or a part of a break code. This occasionally happens, for example, on Chromebooks when the kernel tries to toggle CapsLock LED on a keyboard while user releases Alt+Search keyboard shortcut. Fix this by passing the first non-ACK byte to the normal handler for a handful of PS/2 commands that are expected to be used during normal device operation (as opposed to probe/configuration time).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
