toshiba_acpi: Add support for Keyboard functions mode

Browse source

Recent Toshiba laptops that come with the new keyboard layout have
the Special Functions (hotkeys) enabled by default, which, in order to
access the F{1-12} keys, you need to press the FN-F{1-12} key to
access such key.

This patch adds support to toggle the Keyboard Functions operation
mode by creating the sysfs entry "kbd_functions_keys", accepting only
two parameters, 0 to set the "Normal Operation" mode and 1 to set the
"Special Functions" mode, however, everytime the mode is toggled, a
restart is needed.

In the "Normal Operation" mode, the F{1-12} keys are as usual and
the hotkeys are accessed via FN-F{1-12}.

In the "Special Functions" mode, the F{1-12} keys trigger the hotkey
and the F{1-12} keys are accessed via FN-F{1-12}.
