Besides the naming, this isn't really a property of the EC, but really 
part of the keyboard layout. It seems you just stuck it here because 
this is part of the specific device.

It is also hardly a feature unique to this device. I'm typing this from 
a device with the exact same thing (M1 Macbook Pro). Actually, all 3 
laptops I have in front of me have the same thing. The other 2 have 
a Fnlock (Fn+ESC) though.  On the M1, it's just a module param which I 
set as persistent. Though I now wonder if the Fnlock could be 
implemented on it too. Being able to switch whenever I want would be 
nice. That would probably have to be in Linux where as these other 
laptops probably implement this in their EC/firmware?

What I'm getting at is controlling changing this in firmware is not a 
great experience and this should all be common.
