Thanks. Please incorporate that into the comments, probably fairly early in the
code.

Ignore this, I prototyped the enum thing I had in mind, it doesn't really help.

If you add the new mode we discussed below, then you don't need the && testts
here, and you can verify if the mode is valid earlier on in argument validation.

There isn't much value in one or the other that I know of with only a few
entries.

I was suggesting something more like:

if (mode >= 0 && mode < TOSHIBA_KBD_MODE_MAX) // maybe this is checked earlier
mode = SCI_KBD_MODE_MAP[mode]
else
return -EINVAL;

This probably should be done earlier as part of argument validation.

It does, thanks. Yuck :-)

Just a couple lines of comments at each block would help clarify.
/* type 1 requires existing mode OR'd in */

/* type 2 requires new mode OR'd in */

Or something like that, it makes it obvious that it was intentional. Otherwise,
it looks like a coding mistake :-)

By adding a new mode and a new file, the existing code should just work with
existing hardware. New code can use the new mode. An available_modes entry might
be worth considering as well, which would drop mode 1 and add mode 3 for type 2

$ cat type
1
$ cat available_modes
0 1 2

$ cat type
2
$ cat available_mods
0 2 3

Something like that.
