There are already defined some Fn key combinations, but not all.
This patch adds missing combinations for support in dell-wmi driver.

What do they actually do?

Thanks.

All 10 combinations Fn+Q ... Fn+T, Fn+A ... Fn+G are reported by 
WMI and I need to assign some keycodes for them in dell-wmi 
driver. And because More FN_* constants are already defined in 
input.h I added those which are missing.

With this patch series I'm able to use above Fn combinations for 
my own keyboard shortcuts. Before this patch all Fn combinations 
were one same keycode - which was useless.

If they do not have a well-defined meaning then KEY_UNKNOWN is
appropriate and user later can redefine via EVIOCSKEYCODE to the code
they wish.

I am not sure if adding existing generic KEY_FN_* was a good idea.

Are there not enough key definitions already to accommodate actions you
want? dell-wmi supports changing keymap from usersopace so you should be
able to remap entries you want to the actions you need.

Thanks.
