Okay, this has been there since 2007, so one would guess there must

reason for noone complaining about this for past 8 years. I'd rather

careful here so that we don't introduce any regressions.
Just to follow up on this point specifically. I actually have been
able to find a number of people complaining about this issue[1].
Including a patch that would have removed the quirk from this keyboard
model, though aimed at a previous version of the code, that I guess was
either not pushed upstream, or was rejected for some reason[2].
Looking at the code the only effect of the quirk is to swap these too
keys, and googling for "iso_layout" and "hid_apple" shows that
disabling this quirk is rather common advice for fixing apple
keyboards, being mentioned on both the Ubuntu wiki[3] and the Arch
one[4].
My issue I guess is that I have two keyboards using this module, one
requiring the quirk, and another not.
