I don't like the patch in it's current form. Many notebooks have a number of additional keys that need to be queried/polled using the same interface, but just one button is to control the radio, the rest are multimedia keys that just need to be forwarded to userspace. Or maybe a bluetooth key. Some systems require suspend/resume support, others remember state of the wireless button automatically. For a perfect example, look at drivers/input/misc/wistron_btns.c. So you should create an "extra laptop buttons" interface. Though it may be hard to assure that this generalization layer between input system and hardware is still a win for the driver developer.
