Indeed, I tried to remove that lines from generic rule:

 KEYBOARD_KEY_f7=brightnessdown                         # Fn+F4
 KEYBOARD_KEY_f8=brightnessup                           # Fn+F5

And udevadm info /dev/input/event5 shows f7 and f8 as reserved, so *U100* rule
works. So asterisk is not a bug. MSI rules rely on order of applying, but it is
unspecified.

I think the order in which rules are applied has to be specified. Old
95-keymap.rules were applied from top to bottom in order. New 60-keyboard.hwdb
is simply generated from 95-keymap.rules. But the ordering is broken now.
Maybe, MSI is not the only case where it is important.
