HP OMEN laptops have a key for OMEN Command Center where home key should be, which is not supported by current hp-wmi drivers, this patch addresses this, making use of the key as a dedicated home key
Without the patch in place, hp_wmi logs the following in dmesg:
- hp_wmi: Unknown key code - 0x21a5

I understand what you mean with "where home key should be". So I've been thinking
a bit about what is the best thing to do here. Arguably mapping it to
KEY_CONTROLPANEL would be more accurate. But I can completely understand how
you just want to have a working "home" key; and it indeed is in the place
where on HP laptop keyboards with a num-pad, you would expect the home key.
So lets just map it to KEY_HOME as you suggest:
