Yes. We are willing to add additional entries to this list should we
need to expose them to userspace. In addition, the current approach also
needs more keys to be added to the list, as despite the claim in the
commit description, it only rejects a fraction of the driver-managed
keys (I do not see the GPIO or certain battery keys, for example). In
addition, the read side would also need to have a list, as certain keys
are read-sensitive.

This outcome is acceptable.
