Ah! I didn't know about sparse-keymap but it looks similar to what I was thinking and played with a bit last night. Agreed using existing infrastructure is better.
Only things I'd flag is that:
- It did look like it would be useful to identify keys that the driver handles (there aren't many but a few). Maybe one of the other key types can help handle that?
- There are also some keys that use the tpacpi_input_send_key_masked that might need some special consideration.

That would be amazing - do let me know if there is anything I can help with. Agreed this will help clean up a bunch of the keycode handling :)
