Kay, I think you're thiking about rules files. This is about the hwdb.

I added some debugging statements to figure this out.

fnmatch trie: "*:bvr*:bd*:svnMICRO-STAR*:pn*U100*:pvr*" → yes
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_f7 → reserved
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_f8 → reserved
fnmatch trie: "*:bvr*:bd*:svnMICRO-STAR*:pn*" → yes
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_a0 → mute
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_ae → volumedown
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_b0 → volumeup
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_b2 → www
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_df → sleep

hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_e4 → f21
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_ec → email

hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_f7 → brightnessdown
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_f8 → brightnessup
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_f9 → search
fnmatch trie: "*:bvr*:bd*:svnMICRO-STAR*:pnU90/U100:*" → yes
hwdb_add_property: KEYBOARD_KEY_e4 → reserved

while hwdb file has:
