No, I did not get any error or warning. I try to describe what happened - just in case, I did not see that something went wrong.

After preparing sources etc. I
- manually checked hid-quirks.c to make sure the sources are modified according to the patch.
- replaced the Makefile and ran make - I attach the output to this posting.
- replaced the three .ko files in /var/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hid/usbhid by those just built.

I don't know how to test those new .ko files for anything.
I looked at their sizes: usbkbd.ko became about 50 byte larger, others remain at same size.
And I ran diff, what stated that all three files differ from their original files.

After rebooting, I switched to a text console and tested all special keys with showkey. Like before patching, keys "1" to "5" and the asterisk showed scancodes. No other special key did.

I took a look into dmesg and searched for anything that sounds like usb keyboards to me. I put the snippet in the attached file, too.
