Parse properties in the form
EVDEV_ABS_00="<min>:<max>:<res>:<fuzz>:<flat>"
and apply them to the kernel device. Future processes that open that device
will see the updated EV_ABS range.
This is particularly useful for touchpads that don't provide a resolution in
the kernel driver but can be fixed up through hwdb entries (e.g. bcm5974).
All values in the property are optional, e.g. a string of "::45" is valid to
set the resolution to 45.
The order intentionally orders resolution before fuzz and flat despite it
being the last element in the absinfo struct. The use-case for setting
fuzz/flat is almost non-existent, resolution is probably the most common case
we'll need.
To avoid multiple hwdb invocations for the same device, replace the
hwdb "keyboard:" prefix with "evdev:" and drop the separate 60-keyboard.rules
file. The new 60-evdev.rules is called for all event nodes
anyway, we don't need a separate rules file and second callout to the hwdb
builtin.
This reverts commit ba76ee29bc. As it turns
out, we need to match on driver=atkbd to not load the fixups on any
plugged USB devices.
That is, whenever you use "name:<name>:dmi:<dmi>" style matches, you
better provide a name or you're screwing things up.
Currently, we always run
hwdb 'keyboard:name:$attr{name}:$attr{[dmi/id]modalias}'
as last step to match keyboards. Therefore, if nothing else matched so
far, we still try the device-name+dmi combination.
However, we have a special atkbd rule which is only run for atkbd as:
hwdb 'keyboard:$attr{[dmi/id]modalias}'
This is redundant, as we already pass the same information to hwdb in the
last fallback step.
This patch converts the hwdb "keyboard:dmi:*" matches to
"keyboard:name:*:dmi:*" matches and drops the redundant rule.
There is no reason to match on usb-modaliases, if we can use the
input-modalias to achieve the same. This commit changes the
keyboard-lookups to not be restricted to USB, but pass all modaliases to
the hwdb. Furthermore, we convert all usb:* matches to input:* matches,
thus getting rid of any ambiguity if multiple usb devices are chained (or
a bluetooth device / etc. is on top).
Note that legacy keyboard:usb:* matches are still supported, but
deprecated. If possible, please use keyboard:input:* matches instead.
This is a required step to make other input devices work with
60-keyboard.hwdb. Other bus-types are often chained on usb and we want to
avoid any ambiguity here if we incorrectly match on a USB hub.

On these several HP laptops, the microphone mute hotkey is "Fn+F8" and
the scancode for this hotkey is 0x81, but this scancode was mapped to
fn_esc in the HP generic keymap section. To fix this problem, we add
a machine specific keymap section to add the correct keymap rule.

Some time ago 95-keymap.rules was replaced by
60-keyboard.hwdb. Original comments for MSI laptops (that were in
95-keymap.rules) were removed, but I think they are important for
understanding what's going on.

On the Dell Inspiron 1520 both the atkbd and acpi-video input devices report
an event for pressing the brightness up / down key-combos, resulting in user
space seeing double events and increasing / decreasing the brightness 2 steps
for each keypress.
This hwdb snippet suppresses the atkbd events, making the Inspiron 1520 work
like most modern laptops which emit brightness up / down events through
acpi-video only.

The compaq ku 0133 keyboard has 8 special keys at the top:
http://lackof.org/taggart/hacking/keyboard/cpqwireless.jpg
3 of these use standard HID usage codes from the consumer page, the 5
others use part of the reserved 0x07 - 0x1f range.
This commit adds mapping for this keyboard for these reserved codes, making
the other 5 keys work.

Add a comment to all assignments to f20 that this actually should be "micmute"
in a future when we aren't limited by X.org's key code limiations any more.
On the Dell Latitude, the mic mute key event is generated by wmi
driver, the keycode assigned to this hotkey from kernel is
KEY_MICMUTE (248), this keycode is too big for xorg to handle,
in the xorg, the XF86AudioMicMute is assigned to F20.
Please refer to 4e648ea0 of xkeyboard-config.

Keymaps for Samsung 900X3E and 900X3F should be the same as for other
models in the series.
I have also moved the comment for '# Series 9' to the right place
It appears that it's not really the 900 vs. 940 or the X3 vs X4, but the
A/B/C/D suffix after that which makes the difference between the keymaps. On a
NP900X3C-A04RU you get
MODALIAS=dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnSAMSUNGELECTRONICSCO.,LTD.:pn900X3C/900X3D/900X4C/900X4D:*
So change the matches to use AB vs. CDG as the differentiator.
Thanks to Anatoly Markov for reporting and testing!
