2007-10-14HID: add hidraw interfaceJiri Kosina
hidraw is an interface that is going to obsolete hiddev one day. Many userland applications are using libusb instead of using kernel-provided hiddev interface. This is caused by various reasons - the HID parser in kernel doesn't handle all the HID hardware on the planet properly, some devices might require its own specific quirks/drivers, etc. hiddev interface tries to do its best to parse all the received reports properly, and presents only parsed usages into userspace. This is however often not enough, and that's the reason why many userland applications just don't use hiddev at all, and rather use libusb to read raw USB events and process them on their own. Another drawback of hiddev is that it is USB-specific. hidraw interface provides userspace readers with really raw HID reports, no matter what the low-level transport layer is (USB/BT), and gives the userland applications all the freedom to process the HID reports in a way they wish to.

2007-07-09HID: Use menuconfig objectsJan Engelhardt
Make a "menuconfig" out of the Kconfig objects "menu, ..., endmenu", so that the user can disable all the options in that menu at once instead of having to disable each option separately. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2007-07-09HID: make debugging output runtime-configurableJiri Kosina
There have been many reports recently about broken HID devices, the diagnosis of which required users to recompile their kernels in order to be able to provide debugging output needed for coding a quirk for a particular device. This patch makes CONFIG_HID_DEBUG default y if !EMBEDDED and makes it possible to control debugging output produced by HID code by supplying 'debug=1' module parameter.

2007-04-11USB HID: move usbhid code from drivers/usb/input to drivers/hid/usbhidJiri Kosina
Separate usbhid code into dedicated drivers/hid/usbhid directory as discussed previously with Greg, so that it eases maintaineance process. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-02-05HID: hid debug from hid-debug.h to hid layerJiri Kosina
hid-debug.h contains a lot of code, and should not therefore be a header. This patch moves the code to generic hid layer as .c source, and introduces CONFIG_HID_DEBUG to conditionally compile it, instead of playing with #define DEBUG and including hid-debug.h.

2007-01-04HID: fix help texts in KconfigJiri Kosina
The help text for CONFIG_HID might imply for someone that it's necessary to enable it for any keyboard or mouse attached to the system. This is obviously not correct, so fix it to avoid confusing the users. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2007-01-04Fix some ARM builds due to HID brokennessRussell King
HID it defaults to 'y'. When you have input deselected, this causes the kernel to fail to link. Fix it by making it depend on INPUT. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2006-12-08[PATCH] Generic HID layer - buildJiri Kosina
This modifies Makefiles and Kconfigs to properly reflect the creation of generic HID layer. It also removes the dependency of BROKEN, which was introduced by the first patch in series (see the comment). Also updates credits.
