I can confirm that the patch breaks things when not using n key
rollover. If using the Corsair K70 in "BIOS mode" or just using a
plain USB-keyboard keys repeat forever as reported.
David, I noticed that in the first version of your patch, where the
ignore check was done in hid-core.c, you only checked events that had
the HID_MAIN_ITEM_VARIABLE flag set. I can see that "plain" keyboards
don't have this bit set on the release event so if I keep this check
in the new patch it works in both cases.
So, the if-clause now looks like this:
...
if (!(field->flags & (HID_MAIN_ITEM_RELATIVE |
HID_MAIN_ITEM_BUFFERED_BYTE)) &&
(field->flags & HID_MAIN_ITEM_VARIABLE) &&
usage->usage_index < field->maxusage &&
value == field->value[usage->usage_index]) {
...
