Feel free to keep it disabled. Thank you. I have merged Vincent's MR (keeping for now the other discussion option disabled), and it will be in the next 5.16.y upload. Regards, Salvatore

This options' help text mentions that it is intended for debugging and development only, and should not be used otherwise. Is it really needed? It's not needed for normal support, no. It's quite useful for debugging and adding support for new devices, though. You can compare it a bit with USB Raw Gadget or HIDRAW (except that we don't want anyone writing user-space drivers against that interface), i.e. it provides a direct channel from user-space to the EC. Setting this option to M provides a module that needs to be loaded in explicitly when someone wants to use it. I've added it to the list because other distros (Ubuntu, Arch) have enabled it. Feel free to keep it disabled. Regards, Max
