I think the write_cmd field further down should also be u8 because it stores the
first byte of a command (and it's set only to an 8 bit value in kbd_write_command()).

Otherwise, it looks ok to me. osdev wiki seems to confirm that the device is
indeed 8 bit only, and all the registers are 8 bit now:
