Re: [PATCH/RFC?] usb/input: Add support for fn key on Apple PowerBooks

That should be "MODULE_PARM_DESC(pb_fn_mode, ...)". Also, since this is
for compatibility with ADB, why do we have 3 options? Doesn't ADB have
only 2?
No, the ADB keyboard can operate in 2 modes that can be set with a PMU
command, I forgot about that in my earlier comments. In one mode, you get
the "special" behaviour by default on the Fx keys and you get Fx when
pressing Fn-Fx, and in the other mode, you get the Fx by default and the
special behaviour when pressing Fn-Fx.

I thought is was agreed that we'd avoid "inlines" in .c files?
Ah ? I have certainly missed that discussion ...

I'd prefer liberal amount of spaces applied here </extreme nitpick mode>
Me too :)

Isn't this the same as 

		if (test_bit(usage->code, usbhid_pb_numlock) || test_bit(LED_NUML, input->led))

but harder to read?
No. If the first one is 0, the second one will not matter in the first
version, while it will in yours.
