With these patches sparse-keymap will emit MSC_SCAN events for all keys
as well as KEY_UNKNOWN events for keys not in the keymap, allowing for
easy diagnosis of malfunctioning hotkeys using userspace utilities.

applied - don't forget to propose for stable (which seems appropriate in
this case).

Huh, I wasn't thinking of these as stable material, since they're just
helpful for troubleshooting and don't really fix anything. Under what
circumstances are non-fix patches accepted in the stable trees? Because
I don't really see it described in stable_kernel_rules.txt.

Thanks,
Seth
