I have submitted patch to the linux-input ML (a.k.a. 
"upstream").[1]  Note that it's a little different (based on 
input from ENAC).  I'm not tracking the repos to see if it's 
accepted or not.

To get it in MeeGo, it'll need to be accepted into Linus's 
branch... and you'll need to have a MeeGo bug for it.  Even 
then it might be rejected/ignored because they're being very 
selective about which patches they accept (because too many 
patches is unmaintainable).[2]

I think there's already a bug for this... but if not, you're 
free to file a bug against it.

    give you realistic expectations.
