Hello, same problem happen again on my notebook. Problematic 
commit is now: b253c9d1d858a3f115f791ee4fe2b9399ae7dbbd
hp-wmi: Enable hotkeys on some systems

When I disabled calling function hp_wmi_enable_hotkeys() from 
hp_wmi_init() keys started working again after reboot.

This problem is present in 3.11 rc5. Please can you do something 
so keys on my notebook will work again and it will not be broken 
again in next kernel release? If you need some debug data or 
something else, I can help.

In mail from 16.04.2013 you provided similar patch but with
#define HPWMI_BIOS_QUERY 0x8
I tested that patch and that does not broke keys.

But commit b253c9d1d858a3f115f791ee4fe2b9399ae7dbbd have
#define HPWMI_BIOS_QUERY 0x9
which broke keys again...
