How does this work with protocols larger than 3 bytes (i.e. anything but
bare PS/2)? Or F03 limits the kind of devices we connect to RMI4 device?

Overall, I am very uncomfortable with the concept of "extra byte" at
serio level. Maybe we should define a new flag, something like
SERIO_SYNTHETIC or SERIO_OOB_DATA, and have something like:

void rmi_f03_commit_buttons(struct rmi_function *fn)
{
	struct serio *serio = f03->serio;

	serio_pause_rx(serio);
	if (serio->drv) {
		serio->drv->interrupt(serio, PSMOUSE_EXTRA_BTNS,
				      SERIO_OOB_DATA);
		serio->drv->interrupt(serio, f03->overwrite_buttons.
				      SERIO_OOB_DATA);
	}
	serio_pause_rx(serio);
}

and have psmouse driver store and use it as it sees fit.

Thanks.
