Currently used to tag devices in the new Lenovo *50 series and the X1 Carbon
3rd. These laptops re-introduced the physical trackpoint buttons that were
missing from the *40 series but those buttons are now wired up to the
touchpad.
The touchpad now sends BTN_0, BTN_1 and BTN_2 for the trackpoint. The same
button codes were used in older touchpads that had dedicated scroll up/down
buttons. Input drivers need to work around this and thus know what they're
dealing with.
For the previous gen we introduced INPUT_PROP_TOPBUTTONPAD in the kernel, but
the resulting mess showed that these per-device quirks should really live in
userspace.
The list currently includes the X1 Carbon 3rd PNPID, others will be added as
get to know which PNPID they have.
Some time ago 95-keymap.rules was replaced by
60-keyboard.hwdb. Original comments for MSI laptops (that were in
95-keymap.rules) were removed, but I think they are important for
understanding what's going on.

Most mice have a wheel click angle of 15 degrees, i.e. 24 clicks per full
wheel rotation. Some mice, like the Logitech M325 have a larger angle. To
allow userspace to make use of that knowledge, add a property to the hwdb.
This allows for better predictive scrolling. e.g. a mouse that has a smaller
click angle will scroll faster, with this value you can accommodate this
where needed. Likewise, using "half turn of the wheel" or "full turn of the
wheel" as a UI element becomes possible.
This addition is mainly driven by libinput 0.8, having the angle enables
libinput to provide an API that distinguishes between a physical distance
(like touchpad scrolling does) and discrete steps (wheel clicks).
Callers can choose what they prefer based on the device.

Note that the MS receivers likely work like the Logitech ones, i.e. all
devices connected show up with the same vid/pid/name. Full evidence remains to
be gathered.
This way entries from the same brand with the same dpi and frequency
can be coalesced. It is also visually easier to find the right DPI
than order hexadecimal identifiers.
Pointer acceleration for relative input devices (mice, trackballs, etc.)
applies to the deltas of the device. Alas, those deltas have no physical
reference point - a delta of 10 may be caused by a large movement of a
low-dpi mouse or by a minute movement of a high-dpi mouse.
Which makes pointer acceleration a bit useless and high-dpi devices
essentially unusable.
In an ideal world, we could read the DPI from the device directly and work
with that. In the world we actually live in, we need to compile this list
manually. This patch introduces the database, with the usual match formats
and a single property to be set on a device: MOUSE_DPI
That is either a single value for most mice, or a list of values for mice
that can change resolution at runtime. The exact format is detailed in the
hwdb file.
Note that we're explicitly overshooting the requirements we have for
libinput atm. Frequency could be detected in software and we don't
actually use the list of multiple resolutions (because we can't detect
when they change anyway). However, we might as well collect those values
from the get-go, adding/modifying what will eventually amount to hundreds
of entries is a bit cumbersome.
Note: we rely on the input_id builtin to tag us as mouse first, ordering
of the rules is important.
(David: fixed up typos and moved hwdb file into ./hwdb/)
On the Dell Inspiron 1520 both the atkbd and acpi-video input devices report
an event for pressing the brightness up / down key-combos, resulting in user
space seeing double events and increasing / decreasing the brightness 2 steps
for each keypress.
This hwdb snippet suppresses the atkbd events, making the Inspiron 1520 work
like most modern laptops which emit brightness up / down events through
acpi-video only.

The compaq ku 0133 keyboard has 8 special keys at the top:
http://lackof.org/taggart/hacking/keyboard/cpqwireless.jpg
3 of these use standard HID usage codes from the consumer page, the 5
others use part of the reserved 0x07 - 0x1f range.
This commit adds mapping for this keyboard for these reserved codes, making
the other 5 keys work.
