Keyboard not working in master branch (thinkpad Z16)

I treat this e-mail as warning for developers but also to users before
long expected 6.6 being out.

Background: I do have a portable disk with Dragonflybsd which I use with
three computers: one stationary and two laptops. As long as I was on 6.2
and later 6.4 branches all expected to work worked alright. Then I opted
to switch to master branch of sources just to play with it. All went OK and
also all works OK on stationary and old t14 thinkpad but for much newer
z16 thinkpad I cannot make any contact with build-in keyboard - none of
the keays on it seem to have any effect on system so no way to for example
login :-(

In my config file I have used

device          atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1

line so I've dug into LINT64 to find out that maybe I need some flags to it
added to make the keyboard working

device          atkbd0  at atkbdc? flags 0x01 irq 1

(I hope it's the correct way to set it) with all possible 0x01 to 0x04 values
but still no effect on the keyboard being usefull.

I hope someone can help me solving this small but aanoying problem.

Best regards to all and thank to the developers for their work.
