Description: /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev contains codes out of allowed range 8-255

<I372> = 372; // #define KEY_FAVORITES 364

Additional info:

Please report this upstream.

That's why xkbcomp was updated also.

But why then evdev container lower and upper values inside file?

default xkb_keycodes "evdev" {
minimum = 8;
maximum = 255;

I believe they should be updated as well, if values over 255 are user.
