Bug Description
[Impact]
Micmute hotkey on many HP EliteBooks don't work.
[Fix]
Commit b6eb208b29ae ("hwdb: Add EliteBook to use micmute hotkey"), to map AT keyboard's scancode to micmute hotkey.
[Test]
With the one-liner fix, micmute hotkey works on all the EliteBooks I tested.
[Regression Potential]
The hwdb originally only matches a few EliteBook, and fix changes that to match all EliteBook models. So if there's an EliteBook that uses the scancode for other purpose, there will be a regression.
However, the risk is rather slim because HP is confident that all EliteBooks use the same scancode for mic mute hotkey.
[scope]
this is needed for f and earlier.
this is fixed upstream by commit b6eb208b29ae which is included starting in v246, so g and later are already fixed.

@kaihengfeng, can we skip Xenial since that goes ESM soon?
