This is only relevant for a developer who is wanting to upstream their
keymap changes to v4l-utils. If it should be documented somewhere it
should be in the v4l-utils repo itself, so that anyone generating
patches will notice before spending too much time making a patch on the
keymaps directory.

Also some remotes do not have definitions in the kernel, only in v4l-utils.

For an end user who is trying to patch their keymap this is confusing. Someone
who just wants to patch their keymap for their remote might be put off
by this message; can they not simply edit the toml file?

NAK, I'm afraid.
