The top-row keys in a keyboard usually have dual functionalities. E.g. A function key "F1" is also an action key "Browser back". Therefore, when an application receives an action key code from a top-row key press, the application needs to know how to correlate the action key code with the function key code and do the conversion whenever necessary. Since the userpace already knows the key scanlines (row/column) associated with a received key code. Essentially, the userspace only needs a mapping between the key row/column and the matching physical location in the top row. So, enhance the cros-ec-keyb driver to create such a mapping and expose it to userspace in the form of a function_row_physmap attribute. The attribute would be a space separated ordered list of row/column codes for the keys in the function row, in a left-to-right order. The attribute will only be present when the device has a custom design for the top-row keys.
