There's a little problem with this. The driver uses sparse-keymap, which
calls input_report_key(), which is doing this:

	input_event(dev, EV_KEY, code, !!value);

I don't see the hold events in userspace, so they must be getting
dropped as duplicates as you suggested.

I'm not sure who is at fault here. Should input_report_key() not be
forcing value to 0 or 1? Or should sparse-keymap be calling
input_event() directly? Or is sparse-keymap the wrong tool for handling
keys this way?

Thanks,
Seth
