What do you suggest?
Having a TP 380XD which regularly produces this annoying message, it's just logspam. There's no noticable failure.
Plus, kernels previous to ones with the new input subsystem just used to ignore the scancode (from v2.[24].xx):
int pckbd_translate(unsigned char scancode, unsigned char *keycode, char raw_mode) { ... /* 0xFF is sent by a few keyboards, ignore it. 0x00 is error */ if (scancode == 0x00 || scancode == 0xff) { prev_scancode = 0; return 0; } }
