Hi Benjamin & linux-input folks,

I would definitely recommend pushing this patch to mainstream kernel tree,
because it is actually the only way to use the keyboard in a Microsoft
Surface Book laptop.

Please give a test to the hid/for-next branch[1]. This branch (scheduled
for v4.10) should contain a fix that make the surface book keyboard
working.

And BTW, the patch has been submitted, I requested some changes, and we
did not manage to get it fixed for some weird reasons. Sometimes, making
the device "working" is just not enough.

Cheers,
Benjamin

[1] merge https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git/
brnach hid/for-next with a v4.9-rc8 to have something useful

Thanks for your great work!

Hi Andy,

I am writing just to know how is that your patch here didn't get
submitted:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9047221/

As I also have a Surface Book and this patch enables me to use the
keyboard. Is there any reason where you could not submit it?

I'm not eager to answer private emails for open source topics.
Thus, +Cc: Benjamin and public mailing list.
