gcc-5 became somehow very picky about '!!' usages. I recall quite some
internal discussions with our gcc guys, which resulted in upstream gcc
bugzillas being filled about gcc warning in completely legitimate cases.

Gah, that was long time ago! :)
This is because we want to handle autorepeat (i.e. value 2) correctly. Now
that you ask, it seems to me that we actually should be doing
!!test_bit(usage->code, input->key) != !!value
to be really exact (i.e. so that we really can't have oscilating state).
I'll think about it a little bit more, and eventually probably fix it this
way with your Reported-by: if you are OK with that.
Thanks,
