that's good news... it will make our life easier in future.
This might be good to push upstream with a little bit of documentation about how
to map buttons on new devices so that other porting projects starting from
upstream kernel do it in the right way too.

this case statement - so what happens on a H6300? I assume that matches at last
and its special map is applied at last then, right?
