My guess is that Darren won't let you off without at least a short
commit message.

These two entries were left unsorted.

I know I'm being really pedantic here, but as this is a cleanup patch,
maybe it makes sense to unify the comments a bit? After this patch is
applied, the comments are:

/* These also contain the brightness level after key code */
/* Radio devices state change, also contains additional information */
/* After key code is: next device, active devices, attached devices */
/* Also contains keyboard illumination level after key code */

How about changing them to something like:

/* Key code is followed by brightness level */
/* Radio devices state change, key code is followed by additional information */
/* Key code is followed by: next device, active devices, attached devices */
/* Key code is followed by keyboard illumination level */

And looking at the bigger picture, do you think these comments
(especially the generic one: "also contains additional information") are
actually needed? Anything that follows the key code is ignored by
kernel code anyway.
