Hi Folks,
sorry for double posting, but accidentaly I sent this to the BlueZ
mailing list :(
My plan is to move the HID parser out of the USB subsystem and provide a
general HID parser implementation under drivers/hid/ which could then be
used by the USB and the Bluetooth subsystem drivers. To avoid any naming
conflict due and after the development I suggest to rename the USB HID
module from hid.ko to usbhid.ko (see attached patch).
I know that renaming a kernel module in a stable series is not a good
idea, but doing it now will help us in the long term. However people
which are using hotplug won't even notice it, because the kernel knows
the right module name. And if the transition is finished we can simply
remove the HID parser code from usbhid and everything will still work.
In the end it should look like this:
drivers/hid/hid.ko HID parser (input+hiddev+ff)
drivers/usb/input/usbhid.ko USB HID transport layer
net/bluetooth/hidp/hidp.ko Bluetooth HID protocol
Comments?
Regards
Marcel
