Do we have to do something special to generate those events you are looking
for? I only get a few messages when loading the driver:

Jun 25 15:35:42 lepcts kernel: sonypi: unknown event port1=0x0f,port2=0x05
Jun 25 15:35:42 lepcts kernel: sonypi: Sony Programmable I/O Controller Driver v1.18.
Jun 25 15:35:42 lepcts kernel: sonypi: detected type2 model, verbose = 1, fnkeyinit = off, camera = off, compat = off, mask = 0xffffffff, useinput = on
Jun 25 15:35:42 lepcts kernel: sonypi: unknown event port1=0x0f,port2=0x05
Jun 25 15:35:42 lepcts kernel: sonypi: enabled at irq=11, port1=0x1080,port2=0x1084
Jun 25 15:35:42 lepcts kernel: sonypi: device allocated minor is 63

Maybe the GR100K is too old?
