HID: support primax keyboards violating USB HID spec
Primax keyboards with the issue this driver addresses report modifier keys as in band key events instead of as out of band modifier bits, resulting in the modifier keys generating key up events immediately before the keys they are intended to modify. This driver rewrites the raw report data from such keyboards into USB HID 1.11 compliant report data. It only matches the USB vendor and product IDs for the keyboard it has been tested on. Since there are several keyboards, notably a number of laptops and folding USB keyboards known to have similar unresolved problem reports, the list is expected to grow.
