 /* Keytable for the CEC remote control
  *
+ * This keymap is unusual in that it can't be built as a module,
+ * instead it is registered directly in rc-main.c if CONFIG_MEDIA_CEC_RC
+ * is set. This is because it can be called from drm_dp_cec_set_edid() via
+ * cec_register_adapter() in an asynchronous context, and it is not
+ * allowed to use request_module() to load rc-cec.ko in that case.
+ *
+ * Since this keymap is only used if CONFIG_MEDIA_CEC_RC is set, we
+ * just compile this keymap into the rc-core module and never as a
+ * separate module.
