Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] platform/x86: Add Uniwill laptop driver

Hi,

started to look into the driver regarding TUXEDO NB02 devices support, starting 
with the FN-Keys:

Can you also add

{ KE_IGNORE,    UNIWILL_OSD_SUPER_KEY_LOCK_CHANGED,     { KEY_UNKNOWN }},

?

UNIWILL_OSD_SUPER_KEY_LOCK_ENABLE and UNIWILL_OSD_SUPER_KEY_LOCK_DISABLE are 
always sent in pair with UNIWILL_OSD_SUPER_KEY_LOCK_CHANGED (at least on my test 
device) and without this line an unknown key event is generated (as that is not 
explicitly marked as KE_IGNORE without the line).

This is a physical button on the gaming devices from Uniwill, my suggestion 
would be to bind it to F14 (because another ODM has a very similar key that 
already sends F14 by default) and then let userspace handle it (KDE for example 
has energy profiles that could be bound to it).

Any reason for still having KEY_* defines even on the ignored events? Looking at 
other drivers KE_IGNORE events usually don't have it.
