How are those events sent? When pressing and releasing the key, do you
receive 0xC8 followed by 0xC9? Or do you receive 0xC8 when pressing and
releasing the first time, and 0xC9 when pressing and releasing a second
time?

If the former, then it's not going to work. The release is supposed to
be ignored, as you send the event with sparse_keymap_report_event().

If the latter, and there's an actual state, does it disable a device
on-board, or activate an LED? If so, then it would need to be a switch,
not a key.
