Keyboard not working in 5.4

We have a second person with the same problem.  Michael suggests trying to
backout commit 131acb0380e93664f106117ebf8ba322a3d1b7c4

Basically, start with a 5.4 base (not 5.2), use a usb keyboard temporarily.

cd /usr
make src-create

Make sure you are on the correct release:

cd /usr/src
git checkout DragonFly_RELEASE_5_4

Then try reverting the specified commit and rebuild the kernel, install it,
reboot, and see if the keyboard works.

cd /usr/src
git revert 131acb0380e93664f106117ebf8ba322a3d1b7c4
(assuming it works)
make -j 8 nativekernel
make installkernel
sync
reboot
