[PATCH v2 2/5] Input: atkbd: Expose function row physical map to userspace

Certain keyboards have their top-row keys intended
for actions such as "Browser back", "Browser Refresh", "Fullscreen"
etc as their primary mode, thus they will send physical codes for those
actions. Further, they don't have a dedicated "Fn" key so don't have
the capability to generate function key codes (e.g. F1, F2 etc..).
However in this case, if userspace still wants to "synthesize" those
function keys using the top row action keys, it needs to know the
physical position of the top row keys. (Essentially a mapping between
usage codes and a physical location in the top row).

This patch enhances the atkbd driver to receive such a mapping from the
firmware / device tree, and expose it to userspace in the form of
a function-row-physmap attribute. The attribute would be a space
separated ordered list of physical codes, for the keys in the function
row, in left-to-right order.

The attribute will only be present if the kernel knows about such
mapping, otherwise the attribute shall not be visible.
