The:
input_report_key(dev, keycode, 0); // Possible invalid sequence?
input_report_key(dev, keycode, 1);
input_sync();
Part is equivalent of:
input_report_key(dev, keycode, 1);
input_sync();
Since there is no sync() after the release event it will
never reach userspace.
With that said, I'm still happy to merge this if you
prefer to have the locking in place.
Either way please let me know how you want to proceed.

Hans
