mfw/ti1_key.c: properly initialize notified_keys array The code in this ti1_key.c layer needs to call kpd_subscribe() and kpd_define_key_notification() functions in order to register with the KPD driver. The original code passed KPD_NB_PHYSICAL_KEYS in nb_notified_keys - this constant is defined to 24 in kpd_cfg.h on all platforms of interest to us - but it only filled the first 23 slots in the notified_keys array, resulting in stack garbage being passed to KPD API functions. The fix consists of initializing the last missed array slot to KPD_KEY_RECORD, the key ID for the right side button on the D-Sample handset. On our current hw targets this "Record" button exists as the EXTRA button on our Luna keypad board and as the camera button on the Pirelli DP-L10. There is no support whatsoever for this button in current BMI+MFW, we have no plans of doing anything with Pirelli's camera button even if we do get our UI fw running on that phone, and the Mother's dream of building our own FreeCalypso handset with the same button arrangement as D-Sample (including the right side button) is currently very nebulous - but let us nonetheless handle the full set of buttons on the KPD to MFW interface, and let upper layers weed out unsupported buttons.

State of blobs in FreeCalypso firmware
======================================

FC Tourmaline is almost completely deblobbed.  Only the following very small
components exist in the form of blobs (prebuilt binary objects for which we
have no exact corresponding source) in the standard Tourmaline build:

* OSL and OSX glue components of GPF: 14992 bytes of code
* TMS470 compiler's RTS library (libc/libgcc equivalent): 13152 bytes of code

For OSL and OSX we do have reconstructed C code written based on disassembly of
the blobs, but I (Mother Mychaela) do not consider the current state of this C
reconstruction to be fit for production use - hence standard Tourmaline fw
builds use blob versions of these components.  However, our configuration and
build system gives you the freedom to select which version of each component
you would rather use; the selection is made with Bourne shell config variables
on the configure.sh invokation line:

OSL=0	use the blob version of OSL
OSL=1	use the reconstructed C version of OSL
OSX=0	use the blob version of OSX
OSX=1	use the reconstructed C version of OSX

The current default is OSL=0 and OSX=0.

RTS library
===========

We do have source code for some versions of the TMS470 compiler's RTS library,
but they may not be exactly corresponding to the blob version from TCS211 which
we are using.  This area is deemed to be such a low priority that no real
investigation has been done yet.
