event -> event device (or evdev?)
It is not clear from the message what HID_QUIRK_INPUT_PER_APP has to do with
renaming the devices/having one evdev vs multiple: please make
it explicit in the commit message (and perhaps make explicit if (and how),
in case it could make any difference, how programs might change
theirs behavior as a consequence).
I like the fact that userspace only sees one keyboard for what is,
effectively, one keyboard device.
The code looks good to me: make the commit message more
explanatory and I'll include my reviewed-by.
Thanks,
Denis
