Linux kernel source tree
8f7b057abe
Certain keyboards have their top-row keys intended for actions such as "Browser back", "Browser Refresh", "Fullscreen" etc as their primary mode, thus they will send scan codes for those actions. Further, they don't have a dedicated "Fn" key so don't have the capability to generate function key codes (e.g. F1, F2 etc..). However in this case, if userspace still wants to "synthesize" those function keys using the top row action keys, it needs to know the physical position of the top row keys. (Essentially a mapping between usage codes and a physical location in the top row). This patch enhances the atkbd driver to receive such a mapping from the firmware / device tree, and expose it to userspace in the form of a function-row-physmap attribute. The attribute would be a space separated ordered list of physical codes, for the keys in the function row, in left-to-right order. The attribute will only be present if the kernel knows about such mapping, otherwise the attribute shall not be visible.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
