Hi John,

Commit 04840b50f395 "drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.c: fix scancodes"
introduces a gcc warning:

drivers/platform/x86/sony-laptop.c:395:14: warning:
âscancodeâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

Ok, I've fixed my stupid mistake and also the two bugs in the jogdial driver (It wasn't setting it's parent and it was emitting scancode events even though it's not a keyboard device).


The scancodes returned by the sony-laptop driver for function keys did not
match the scancodes used to remap keys. Also, since the scancode was sent
to the input subsystem after the mapped keysym the /lib/udev/keymap
utility was confused about which scancode to report for which keysym.

This patch fixes the driver so the correct scancode is shown for each
key. It also adds to the documentation a description of where to find
the scancodes.
