I finally got the time to try this out. Releasing the keys in suspend
also solves our problem. Would such patch work for the USB keyboard
case you described? Theoretically, I think it should, right?
So, basically:
static int input_dev_suspend(struct device *dev)
{
struct input_dev *input_dev = to_input_dev(dev);
- mutex_lock(&input_dev->mutex);
-
- if (input_dev->users)
- input_dev_toggle(input_dev, false);
-
- mutex_unlock(&input_dev->mutex);
+ input_reset_device(input_dev);
return 0;
}
static int input_dev_resume(struct device *dev)
{
- struct input_dev *input_dev = to_input_dev(dev);
-
- input_reset_device(input_dev);
-
return 0;
}
Should I send the patch?
