  static bool apple_is_non_apple_keyboard(struct hid_device *hdev)
  {
    int i;

    for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(non_apple_keyboards); i++) {
      char *non_apple = non_apple_keyboards[i].name;

      if (strncmp(hdev->name, non_apple, strlen(non_apple)) == 0)
        return true;
    }

    return false;
  }

Looking at the code where non_apple_keyboards is used, the values in the
array are compared against the hid device name attribute. This name will
be same as iManufacturer + iProduct output you shared with lsusb (thank
you for doing this).

	if (dev->manufacturer)
		strscpy(hid->name, dev->manufacturer, sizeof(hid->name));

	if (dev->product) {
		if (dev->manufacturer)
			strlcat(hid->name, " ", sizeof(hid->name));
		strlcat(hid->name, dev->product, sizeof(hid->name));
	}

The above is from hid-core which indicates the name is Manufacturer +
Product separated by a single space character.

Ok, so in wired mode, one of the entries should be "Jamesdonkey A3R",
rather than just Jamesdonkey.

Are you sure that works? I am pretty sure this value needs to be "A3R-U"
because of the conditional, at least from reading the code. Would you
mind adding a print for hdev->name in the driver right before
apple_is_non_apple_keyboard is called in apple_input_configured to
confirm that the values printed do match up (feel free to share the
dmesg in your reply).

To me, it seems this patch needs to be changed to use "Jamesdonkey A3R"
for wired and "A3R-U" for wireless. Keep in mind, all this function is
used for is adding a special quirk where you see the following
information. Aside from that, Apple vendor keyboards from different
manufacturers will work as expected without any change.

	if (apple_is_non_apple_keyboard(hdev)) {
		hid_info(hdev, "Non-apple keyboard detected; function keys will default to fnmode=2 behavior\n");
		asc->quirks |= APPLE_IS_NON_APPLE;
	}
