This will break drivers that either support hardware autorepeat (such as
atkbd) or ones that implement autorepeat themselves. If you want support
"starting" repeat rate/delay as you are proposing we need alternative
way of telling input core whether it should engage generic autorepeat
code or not. Maybe we should simply add a "softrepeat" flag in input_dev
structure and call it day.
Thanks.
