[SeaBIOS] [PATCH 0/1] add multiple usb-hid support

[Stef van Os]

Hi Daniel,

Is this a problem with the patch applied? It was tested on our hardware 
to function.

Some questions:
* What hardware platform are you using?
* Does the numeric keyboard work if it is the only keyboard (or if you 
swap ports, which hopefully changes enumeration order) in the system, 
maybe the problem is elsewhere and was masked because the (normal) 
keyboard was enumerated first and the second (numeric) was ignored earlier.

Also, the patch can be verified using qemu and two vnc inputs:

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096 -M q35 -smp 8 \
         -pflash bios.qemu.rom \
         -drive format=raw,file=disk.img \
         -device pci-bridge,addr=12.0,chassis_nr=2,id=head.2 \
         -device nec-usb-xhci,bus=head.2,addr=0f.0,id=usb.2 \
         -device VGA,id=video.1 \
         -device secondary-vga,bus=head.2,addr=02.0,id=video.2 \
         -display vnc=:15,id=primary,display=video.1 \
         -display vnc=:16,id=secondary,display=video.2 \
         -usb \
         -device usb-kbd,bus=usb.2.0,port=1,display=video.1 \
         -device usb-kbd,bus=usb.2.0,port=2,display=video.2 \
         -serial stdio

Best regards,
Stef
