$ grep -w dbg drivers/input/serio/i8042.c | cat -n
     1			dbg("%02x <- i8042 (flush, %s)", data,
     2		dbg("%02x -> i8042 (command)", command & 0xff);
     3			dbg("%02x -> i8042 (parameter)", param[i]);
     4				dbg("     -- i8042 (timeout)");
     5				dbg("     -- i8042 (auxerr)");
     6			dbg("%02x <- i8042 (return)", param[i]);
     7			dbg("%02x -> i8042 (kbd-data)", c);
     8				dbg("Extra keyboard ACK - filtered out\n");
     9			dbg("Filtered out by platform filter\n");
    10			if (irq) dbg("Interrupt %d, without any data", irq);
    11				dbg("MUX error, status is %02x, data is %02x", str, data);
    12		dbg("%02x <- i8042 (interrupt, %d, %d%s%s)",
    13			dbg("%02x <- i8042 (aux_test_irq, %s)",
    14			dbg("     -- i8042 (aux irq test timeout)");
    15		dbg("%02x -> i8042 (panic blink)", 0xed);
    16		dbg("%02x -> i8042 (panic blink)", led);

I think 2 defects in 16 uses is a pretty high error rate.
