It is not possible to simplify this part of code? Currently we only need
boolean variable: ignore 0xe025 event or not. I think that whole quirk
structure is not needed yet (and I would be happy if never in future).

Unknown sounds like something is not know or we do not know what it is.
But here we know exactly what is needed (= ignore 0xe025 key).
