Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Input: adbhid - restore_capslock_events fixes

Hi Dmitry,

Would you consider these for review and inclusion in the input tree?

They fix 2 out of 3 problems I know of in the simulation of capslock
up/down key events on Apple laptop keyboards. The third problem - that
sometimes the capslock key gets stuck down - I haven't looked at
properly yet, but I know that the "capslock key up" packet is never
received by adbhid_keyboard_input so the problem is in adb.c or
via-pmu.c, or possibly the hardware never sends the event at all.

Pavel Machek suggested removing the parameter, and I would do this
after fixing the third problem. This would probably happen after the
once-or-twice-a-day event of stuck capslock annoys me enough to have a
deeper look.

Thanks,

Rodney
