That'll greatly help in debugging it if needed. Thanks.

If you really want to make that switch smaller, please put some small
table like

#define RESPONSE(x) { .value = x, .name = #x, }
struct {
	unsigned char value;
	unsigned char *name;
} response[] {
	RESPONSE (LK_KBD_TEST_MODE_ACK),
	RESPONSE (LK_PREFIX_KEY_DOWN),
	...
};

into the driver along with a small search function like

unsigned char *
find_response_name (unsigned char value)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE (response); i++)
		if (response[i].value == value)
			return response[i].name;
	
	return NULL;
}

MfG, JBG
