I made a patch to add support for Switch 12's keyboard and tested it on Fedora 22's current 4.0.8 kernel. The patch works.


I need directions to enable hardware sleep and volume buttons on Switch 12.

Nicholas, since you already created a patch please add  you "signed-off-by" to it (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches) and post it to linux-input@vger.kernel.org (CC jkosina@suse.com). That would be the fastest way for the patch to get applied.
