HP ProBooks do not send a key release for brightness keys, as a
result, brightness does not move up/down when the brightness key
is held down. This quirk makes the brightness keys on HP ProBooks
typematic.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.

Also, this should be handled from userspace by having usev write to
/sys/bus/serio/devices/serioX/force_release attribute on affected boxes.
