Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] platform/x86: panasonic-laptop: Add driver for CF-33 A1/A2 buttons (TBTN)
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 19:17:43 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813221744.25668-3-hilgad.montelo@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813221744.25668-1-hilgad.montelo@gmail.com>

On the Panasonic Toughbook CF-33 the bezel A1/A2 buttons are wired to
a separate ACPI device, MAT003C (ACPI path \_SB.TBTN), rather than the
main Hotkey device (MAT0019/HKEY) this driver already talks to.
MAT003C was present in the ACPI namespace but had no driver bound to
it, so A1/A2 produced no signal through any channel: no evdev events,
no ACPI notify (nothing logged), no WMI device, and no correlated ACPI
GPE interrupt activity.

Found by dumping and disassembling the platform's ACPI tables
(acpidump -b + iasl -d) and searching for EC _Qxx query handlers that
push scancodes into a hotkey queue. TBTN turned out to implement its
own HINF/HIND/SQTY/SINF method quartet, structurally a clone of HKEY's:
_Qxx handlers call TBTN.HIND(code) then Notify(TBTN, 0x80); HINF()
dequeues one scancode from a small EC-side FIFO. Confirmed scancodes:
0x38/0x39 = A1 press/release, 0x42/0x43 = A2 press/release. Unlike
HKEY, TBTN's codes never set the high bit -- press and release are
distinct scancodes rather than one code plus an up/down flag.

TBTN.SQTY returns 1 (it has no brightness/battery data, just a
button-availability flag), so it cannot be probed via the existing
acpi_pcc_hotkey_probe(), which requires num_sifr > SINF_DC_CUR_BRIGHT
(assumes every device has the full brightness/eco-mode/battery SINF
block). Add a second, minimal platform_driver bound to MAT003C
instead, with its own small input device reporting KEY_PROG2 (A1) and
KEY_PROG3 (A2) -- both already carry standard XKB keysym mappings
(XF86Launch2/XF86Launch3), so no udev/hwdb work is needed for desktop
environments to bind them to actions.

Verified on a CF-33 Mk1: evtest shows clean KEY_PROG2/KEY_PROG3
press/release pairs with real physical timing; confirmed bindable as
GNOME custom shortcuts and launching applications correctly.
