Is there anything currently in works that would make use of this button? I do not want to allocate keycode "for the future" which may never come. We did it with KEY_BATTERY but I do not think anyone actually uses it.KEY_BATTERY is heavily used in userspace. I think all the hardware that generates it does so via i8042 rather than a platform driver, so it wouldn't show up in the kernel.
Ah, I see. I hope the keycode is not used to signal battery status change but to invoke battery/power manager applet... -- Dmitry
