**Summary:**  
Since upgrading to kernel 6.12 on my ASUS Zenbook UM5302TA laptop, the behavior of function keys (F1-F12) is inverted. To press "F1", I now must use the "Fn" key. Additionally, the "Fn+Esc" combination no longer toggles the function key lock.
Only brightness and volume function keys are working as expected, while others such as keyboard backlight toggle or touchpad disable are non-functional.

**Distribution:**  
Ubuntu 24.10

**Kernel Version:**  
6.12.x (issue not present on previous kernels)

**Hardware Information:**  
ASUS Zenbook UM5302TA (AMD Ryzen 7 6800U)  
BIOS: American Megatrends International, LLC. Version: UM5302TA.313 (Release Date: 09/10/2024)  

**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Boot into kernel 6.12 on ASUS Zenbook UM5302TA.
2. Attempt to use standard F1-F12 keys without pressing Fn. Keys respond as if Fn were engaged.
3. Attempt to toggle Fn lock via "Fn+Esc". No toggling occurs.
4. Test other function keys (e.g. keyboard backlight, touchpad disable). These no longer function.

**Expected Behavior:**  
- Function keys should operate in the chosen mode (standard F-keys or multimedia keys) without requiring permanent use of Fn if previously toggled.
- "Fn+Esc" should toggle function key mode (F-Lock).
- All function keys (backlight, touchpad toggle, etc.) should function as intended.

**Actual Behavior:**  
- Function keys act as if Fn is always required.
- "Fn+Esc" does not toggle function key lock.
- Some function keys related to keyboard backlight and touchpad are non-functional, while brightness and volume keys still work.

**Additional Notes:**  
- This regression appeared specifically after updating to kernel 6.12.
- Works correctly on earlier kernel versions.
