The best way to fix this (worked well for me for several years)
is to append the needed module parameters to the kernel command line.

sudo vi /etc/default/grub
and change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash hid_apple.fnmode=2"

or
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash hid_apple.fnmode=2 hid_apple.iso_layout=0"

modinfo hid_apple
parm: fnmode:Mode of fn key on Apple keyboards (0 = disabled, [1] = fkeyslast, 2 = fkeysfirst) (uint)
parm: iso_layout:Enable/Disable hardcoded ISO-layout of the keyboard. (0 = disabled, [1] = enabled) (uint)
