Subject: staging: speakup: fix speakup-r regression
From: "covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b1d562acc78f0af46de0dfe447410bc40bdb7ece upstream.
Here is a patch to make speakup-r work again.
It broke in 3.6 due to commit 4369c64c79a22b98d3b7eff9d089196cd878a10a
"Input: Send events one packet at a time)
The problem was that the fakekey.c routine to fake a down arrow no
longer functioned properly and putting the input_sync fixed it.
Fixes: 4369c64c79a22b98d3b7eff9d089196cd878a10a
