This part of patch is ugly. Some random numbers are checked and then
notifier is called. We already have big table with explanation of those
events... It is not possible to extend it with some flag or somehow
other that value should be called via notifier?
Nope, sparse_keymaps are a well defined API for, well, keymaps! The problem
really is this commit:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/platform/x86?id=e075b3c898e4055ec62a1f0ed7f3b8e62814bfb6
Which mixes status-events and key-press events in one sparse-keymap,
which happens to work because so far all the status events are
using { KE_IGNORE, 0x...., { KEY_RESERVED } }, but now we want to
actually do something and that shows that the above commit really
is a bad idea (at least for the 0x0011 type events, if we (partially)
revert that, then the ugly if goes away and I can simply insert
the dell_smbios_call_notifier() above the break in the original
switch-case handling for 0x0011 type events.
So shall I revert the 0011 part of the mentioned commit?
That is actually what I had in an earlier (never posted) version
of the patch-set.
Regards,
Hans
