To be clear - do the function keys not send different scan codes on this laptop
in the two different modes? I expected that they should be sending separate scan
codes. If they are not sending different scan codes, then this actually needs
to be captured in the kernel and a translation map is needed which is platform
specific.

Right, I don't think this was a bad first attempt. I just think it's different
than the 0x10/0x11 events.
I'm not saying it shouldn't apply to more models, but just that events from
this 0x12 table should be treated differently.
I feel we need a different way to send these types of events to userspace
than a keycode.
I for example think that the power adapter and dock events are also potentially
useful but realistically userspace needs to be able to show translated messages to
a user.
Hans,
Can you please comment here how you would like to see events like this should come
through to userspace?
* Wrong power adapter (you have X and should have Y)
* You have plugged a dock into the wrong port
* Fn-lock mode
