From 8b8a518ef16be2de27207991e32fc32b0475c767 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 09:52:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Input: atkbd - document "no new force-release quirks" policy MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit To save people some time let's document that we do not want new quirks for "force-release" keys in the kernel and that they should patch userspace (udev) instead.
