Subject[PATCH v3] Fix modifier keys for Redragon Asura Keyboard
Date
The microdia family of keyboards uses a non-standard way of sending
modifier keys.

The down event always sets the first bit to 0x04 and the second keycode
to a custom value For instance, left shift sends the following bits

04 02 00 00 00 00 00 00

while left control sends

04 01 00 00 00 00 00 00

As a result all modifier keys are mapped to left shift and the keyboard is
non-functional in that respect. To solve the problem, we capture the
raw data in raw_event and manually generate the correct input events.

The keyboard functions mostly as expected now, with only a few minor
issues:

- two USB devices are detected instead of 1
- some key combinations are not triggered - e.g.
left shift + left ctrl + p. However, the same combination is recognized
with the right shift key.

Changelog:

- v2: modifier keys work, some combinations are still troublesome
- v3: style cleanup, rebase on top of 4.14
- v4: remove most debugging calls, make init info useful for user,
rebased on top of 4.15
