RE: input/i8042: Malfunctioning brightness keys on HP Elite Dragonfly G2

Hi Alex,

Let me investigate this issue.  The driver maps some keys, so it is possible the list is incomplete.  
It is expected hp_wmi driver to be loaded, Correct?
Can you provide the BIOS version current in your system?

Do you have a "HP WMI hotkeys" device in your list of input devices?  And are you getting any events on that ?

Likewise do you have a "Video Bus" device and any events on that ?

I've also added Jorge from HP to the Cc. Jorge, can you help with this ?
