converts scancode in struct input\_keymap\_entry

## NAME

input\_scancode\_to\_scalar - converts scancode in struct input\_keymap\_entry

## ARGUMENTS

*ke*

keymap entry containing scancode to be converted.

*scancode*

pointer to the location where converted scancode should be stored.

## DESCRIPTION

This function is used to convert scancode stored in struct keymap\_entry into scalar form understood by legacy keymap handling methods. These methods expect scancodes to be represented as 'unsigned int'.
