[PATCH 3.12 212/212] HID: apple: option to swap the Option ("Alt") and Command ("Flag") keys.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nanno Langstraat <langstr@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 43c831468b3d26dbe8f2e061ccaf1abaf9cc1b8b upstream.

Use case: people who use both Apple and PC keyboards regularly, and desire to
keep&use their PC muscle memory.

A particular use case: an Apple compact external keyboard connected to a PC
laptop. (This use case can't be covered well by X.org key remappings etc.)
