Hi Alex,

regarding the changes around commit [1] that made it into kernel 5.16, I
hope you do not mind if I message you directly, as I am not sure where
else to bring this up.

Apparently, the default behavior (when the iso_layout flag is not
configured explicitly) has flipped for my keyboard.

      $ lsusb | grep Keyboard
      Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05ac:0246 Apple, Inc. Internal
Keyboard/Trackpad (ISO)
      $ cat /sys/bus/hid/devices/0003\:05AC\:0246.000{2,3}/country
      0d
      00

As my keyboard is rather old (internal German keyboard of MacBookPro8,1
2011), maybe nothing needs to be done about this, so feel free to ignore
this email. After all, one gets the correct behavior by explicitly
setting `iso_layout=1` now, which used to be the default.

Kind regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

Thank you for reporting this to me. Unfortunately, I didn't have any
foreign MacBooks to test, so I had no way of knowing if any of their
keyboards had the quirk. But based on your report, I think it's safe
to say that the quirk is present on the "Wellspring 5" and later
models. I will send a patch to fix them up.

Do you have any other MacBooks that you could test (especially super old ones)?

Thank you, Alex. Unfortunately, I do not have access to any other models.

Markus
