Jiri,

thanks for the patch, I tested it, most keys seem to work, only 4 of them
not:

1. The "W" key (Word processor) (KEY_WORDPROCESSOR): 

    drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report (size 2) (numbered)
    drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report 4 (size 1) =  01
    hid-debug: input Button.0156 = 1

2. The "Ex" key (Spreadsheet) (KEY_SPREADSHEET):

    drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report (size 2) (numbered)
    drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report 4 (size 1) =  02
    [...]
    hid-debug: input Button.0157 = 1

3. The "P" key (Presentation) (KEY_PRESENTATION):

    drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report (size 2) (numbered)
    drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report 4 (size 1) =  04
    [...]
    hid-debug: input Button.0158 = 1

4. The "Stop" key (KEY_STOP):

    drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report (size 4) (numbered)
    drivers/hid/hid-core.c: report 3 (size 3) =  20 00 00
    [...]
    hid-debug: input Consumer.015c = 1

In one of my previous mails I probably lied when I said all keys
follow the "Standards". Seems like these do not follow them.

Regards,
