[PATCH] Input: atkbd - add LED triggers for keyboard state

[PATCH] Input: atkbd - add LED triggers for keyboard state

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

Many new laptop keyboards aren't shipping with LEDs in the keys for
caps lock, num lock, and scroll lock. They do, however, ship with many LEDs
for specialized functions that mostly go non-utilized by any current
Linux drivers. Having a caps lock LED is very helpful in early boot full
disk encryption, where a fancy GUI is not available to show that caps
lock is activated.

This patch wires in the caps, num, and scroll lock states of the
keyboard into the generic LED trigger subsystem, so that integrators can
have different LEDs activated on caps/num/scroll lock state changes.

atkbd is the wrong level to introduce this functionality, as you want
the same for all other kinds of keyboards. Moreover needed changes from
Samuel Thibault have been merged into 4.2.

Thanks.
