Subject: [PATCH 4.0.1] HID: apple: option to swap the 'FN' and 'Left Control'
 keys.

This patch allows Apple users to swap the FN and left Control keys 
on Macbook Pro, external Apple keyboards and some other Apple devices. 
And it also allows to use EjectCD key as missing Delete key.
New hid-apple module params are swap_fn_leftctrl and ejectcd_as_delete.

Signed-off-by: Zakhar Semenov <mail@...e5lot.com>

This patch was created because Apple keyboards on Macbook Pro and 
external keyboard models have an unusual placement of special keys 
and a lot of users want the FN key and left Control key to be swapped.
Similar patch for hid-apple but for other keys was accepted in 2013:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/6/246

This patch was tested on Macbook Pro of 2013/2014 and an external keyboard.
The same code style was used as in the original hid-apple.c,
