This now no longer fallsthrough to default. IMHO the best thing to do
here is add a new preparation patch which initializes known_ev to false
inside the while before the switch-case (together with the send_acpi_ev
and ignore_acpi_ev init). and then change this fallthrough to a break
in the preparation patch. You can then also remove the default case
altogether in this prep patch.

These 2 values are set as the default above the switch-case, please
drop these 2 lines.

This code duplicates tpacpi_input_send_key(), what you want to do here
is define a hotkey_keycode_map scancode range for new 0x8xxx codes like how this
was done when extended scancodes where added to deal with the new 0x13xx hotkey
event codes for the 2017+ models.

See commit 696c6523ec8f ("platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: add mapping for new hotkeys")

Despite re-using tpacpi_input_send_key() there are 2 reasons why we want
scancodes for these new "keys".

1. By adding the keys to the hotkey_keycode_map they automatically
also get input_set_capability(tpacpi_inputdev, EV_KEY, hotkey_keycode_map[i]);
called on them advertising to userspace that tpacpi_inputdev can actually
generate these keypresses. Something which is currently lacking from your
patch. Related to this did you test this with evtest? I think that the input
core will suppress the events when you do not set the capability ?

2. This allows remapping scancodes to different KEY_foo values with hwdb
entries.
