Besides the naming, this isn't really a property of the EC, but really
part of the keyboard layout. It seems you just stuck it here because
this is part of the specific device.
It is also hardly a feature unique to this device. I'm typing this from
a device with the exact same thing (M1 Macbook Pro). Actually, all 3
laptops I have in front of me have the same thing. The other 2 have
a Fnlock (Fn+ESC) though. On the M1, it's just a module param which I
set as persistent. Though I now wonder if the Fnlock could be
implemented on it too. Being able to switch whenever I want would be
nice. That would probably have to be in Linux where as these other
laptops probably implement this in their EC/firmware?
What I'm getting at is controlling changing this in firmware is not a
great experience and this should all be common.
