Subject: [PATCH] Add keycode for microphone mute key
Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2011 21:14:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1303524889.2457.24.camel@laptop> (raw)

Lenovo is now including a key for muting the microphone on all Thinkpad
models & peripheral keyboards. Currently there is no way to deal with
this key being handled in a common fashion under Linux. This patch
defines a key code for microphone mute so that this key can be mapped
for Thinkpad models & peripheral keyboards.

By having a set keycode this key can be remapped to the common keycode
and userspace can then listen and take some action once the key is
pressed. A common action would be to mute the microphone mixer.
