The main reason I had it there today was to make it easier to do a versioned binding in case of future revisions, but I guess it's not worth the hassle. So, in that case I will move out the fn management out of the common code as well, and pass in the property name to matrix_keyboard_of_fill_keymap. That way, the drivers that need to do a fn-keymap can do so outside of the shared code (and it gets rid of the FIXME in that case as well). Revised patch in a bit. -Olof
