not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Micmute hotkey on many HP EliteBooks don't work.

  [Fix]
  Commit b6eb208b29ae ("hwdb: Add EliteBook to use micmute hotkey"), to map AT keyboard's scancode to micmute hotkey.

  [Test]
  With the one-liner fix, micmute hotkey works on all the EliteBooks I tested.

  [Regression Potential]
  The hwdb originally only matches a few EliteBook, and fix changes that to match all EliteBook models. So if there's an EliteBook that uses the scancode for other purpose, there will be a regression.
  However, the risk is rather slim because HP is confident that all EliteBooks use the same scancode for mic mute hotkey.

  [scope]

  this is needed for f and earlier.

  this is fixed upstream by commit b6eb208b29ae which is included
  starting in v246, so g and later are already fixed.
