Neither barebox nor the underlying UEFI imeplements different keyboard
layouts. I think the right place to implement that in barebox would be
in drivers/input/. For that to work the driver for the simple text input
protocol would have to be converted to an input driver. You could also
implement it in drivers/serial/serial_efi.c, but there it would work
only for that single driver, not for USB keyboards.
