Hello everyone,
this is a mostly boring series that deals with a few inconsistencies in the
code that have accumulated over the years. Besides that it patches up a handful
of problems such a return values not being checked etc.
The only significant change comes in patches 8 through 10 which introduce a
spinlock to handle concurrent access to the HID report that is used by the
driver to send data to the wheel. I would appreciate some comments on this one,
particularly on the way it handles deinitialization. Patches 8 and 9 contain
the necessary prep work, patch 10 adds the spinlocking.
v2:
- Split previous patch 7 into three smaller patches
- Split the long line of text in patch 5 (now patch 6)
- Add another cleanup patch that removes unnecessary casts from void *
Michal Malý (15):
HID: hid-lg4ff: (Cleanup) Remove double underscore prefix from numeric
types.
HID: hid-lg4ff: (Cleanup) Remove "hid_" prefix from some functions'
names.
HID: hid-lg4ff: (Cleanup) Replace DEVICE_ATTR_RW with DEVICE_ATTR to
have all internal functions prefixed with "lg4ff_"
HID: hid-lg4ff: (Cleanup) Remove unused variable from the
"lg4ff_device_entry" struct.
HID: hid-lg4ff: (Cleanup) Explicit casts from void * are not necessary
HID: hid-lg4ff: Update a warning message for a case where device is
incorrectly flagged to be handled by hid-lg4ff in hid-lg.
HID: hid-lg: Check return values from lg[N]ff_init()
HID: hid-lg4ff: Make lg4ff_wheel_data a separate structure stored
within lg4ff_device_entry. Adjust the initialization process
accordingly.
HID: hid-lg4ff: Stop the hid device from lg4ff.
HID: hid-lg4ff: Protect concurrent access to output HID report with
a spinlock
HID: hid-lg4ff: Store pointer to the output HID report struct in the
device entry struct.
HID: hid-lg4ff: Constify those members of lg4ff_device_entry struct
whose value is not supposed to change.
HID: hid-lg4ff: Allow the driver to continue without sysfs interface.
HID: hid-lg4ff: Update respective sysfs interface documentation
HID: hid-lg: Only one of LG_FF flags can be set for a given device.
