  • Remove the old-fashioned lk201 driver under drivers/tc/ that used to be
    used by the old dz.c and zs.c drivers, which is now orphan code referred to
    from nowhere and does not build anymore. A modern replacement is available
    as drivers/input/keyboard/lkkbd.c.

    There are no plans to do anything about this piece of code and it does not
    fit anywhere anymore, so it is not just a matter of maintenance or the lack
    of. There are still some bits that might be added to the new lkkbd.c
    driver based on the old code, and the embedded hardware documentation which
    is otherwise quite hard to get hold of might be useful to keep too. Both
    of these can be done separately though. RIP.

  • There have been issues with non-latin1 diacritics and unicode.
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7746

    Git 759448f459234bfcf34b82471f0dba77a9aca498 `Kernel utf-8 handling'
    partly resolved it by adding conversion between diacritics and
    unicode. The patch below goes further by just turning diacritics into
    unicode, hence providing better future support. The kbd support can be
    fetched from
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=12313

    This was tested in all of latin1, latin9, latin2 and unicode with french
    and czech dead keys.

    Turn the kernel accent_table into unicode, and extend ioctls KDGKBDIACR
    and KDSKBDIACR into their equivalents KDGKBDIACRUC and KDSKBDIACR.

    New function int conv_uni_to_8bit(u32 uni) for converting unicode into 8bit
    _input_. No, we don't want to store the translation, as it is potentially
    sparse and large.
