This feature was previously removed, because it caused unnecessary storm of events in cases of positioning devices, etc. This patch adds reporting of usage codes as EV_MSC events only for key events. We issue the EV_MSC event only if the state of the key corresponding to the given code has changed, so that we don't report usages that are sent in every report even if the state hasn't changed (for example Shift/Caps Lock/... states as sent by various keyboards). This functionality is required at least by KeyTouch in order to provide convenient means for remapping the usage codes.
