what you talk about is a quirk and since the current USB HID parser
already contains enough of them, I try to avoid as much of them as
possible. In general the value is correct, but our problem is that we
have to deal with PS/2 as protocol at the level of the input subsystem.
However don't bother me about that quirk. Send in a patch or get the
input guys to redesign parts of their subsystem.
