AFAICT, there are no outstanding issues. I think we are getting close. :-) Building on the report fixup patches, this patchset brings a bit of transparency to the hid bus, by the addition of device groups. This allows a more versatile handling of hid drivers in userland, and simplifies the logic in the kernel. In particular, there can be one generic module per device group, and those modules are handled automatically by udev. Dynamic rebinding of drivers is fully supported. For instance, to load a special out-of-tree driver instead of the a generic one, simply unbind the device and load the new module. One can also keep _all_ generic drivers as modules, significantly simplifying the process of adding and testing new features. And, of course, auto-loading of new multitouch drivers works, since that was what triggered this patchset to begin with. :-) The second patch contains a simple descriptor scanner that is new. The last patch unifies the generic drivers into a single, loadable module. Enjoy, Henrik Henrik Rydberg (6): hid: Add device group to modalias hid: Scan the device for group info before adding it hid: Allow bus wildcard matching hid: Create a generic device group hid-multitouch: Switch to device groups hid: Create a common generic driver drivers/hid/Kconfig | 12 +++ drivers/hid/Makefile | 2 + drivers/hid/hid-core.c | 172 ++++++++++++++++++++------------------- drivers/hid/hid-generic.c | 53 ++++++++++++ drivers/hid/hid-input.c | 11 --- drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c | 3 +- drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c | 16 ---- include/linux/hid.h | 20 +++-- include/linux/mod_devicetable.h | 4 +- net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c | 27 +----- scripts/mod/file2alias.c | 5 +- 11 files changed, 180 insertions(+), 145 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/hid/hid-generic.c -- 1.7.10
