Why This File Exists
Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.

config SERIO
tristate "Serial I/O support"
default y
help
Say Yes here if you have any input device that uses serial I/O to
communicate with the system. This includes the
* standard AT keyboard and PS/2 mouse *
as well as serial mice, Sun keyboards, some joysticks and 6dof
devices and more.
If unsure, say Y.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called serio.
config ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_SERIO
bool
help
Select this config option from the architecture Kconfig if
the architecture might use a PC serio device (i8042) to
communicate with keyboard, mouse, etc.
if SERIO
config SERIO_I8042
tristate "i8042 PC Keyboard controller"
default y
depends on ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_SERIO
help
i8042 is the chip over which the standard AT keyboard and PS/2
mouse are connected to the computer. If you use these devices,
you'll need to say Y here.
If unsure, say Y.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called i8042.
config SERIO_SERPORT
tristate "Serial port line discipline"
default y
depends on TTY
help
Say Y here if you plan to use an input device (mouse, joystick,
tablet, 6dof) that communicates over the RS232 serial (COM) port.
More information is available: <file:Documentation/input/input.rst>
If unsure, say Y.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called serport.
config SERIO_Q40KBD
tristate "Q40 keyboard controller"
depends on Q40
config SERIO_PARKBD
tristate "Parallel port keyboard adapter"
depends on PARPORT
help
Say Y here if you built a simple parallel port adapter to attach
an additional AT keyboard, XT keyboard or PS/2 mouse.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Driver Families / drivers/input.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
