This is a bit roundabout way of doing it. Why can't the kernel driver perform lookup in it's internal table and emit proper keycodes itself? We have wealth of options for supplying keymaps to the kernel drivers, including: - platform data - device tree data - loading from userspace via EVIOCSKEYCODE ioctl.
