mainlining shenanigans
190d7f02ce
This is something that bothered us from a long time. When hid-input doesn't know how to map a usage, it uses *_MISC. But there is something else which increments the usage if the evdev code is already used. This leads to few issues: - some devices may have their ABS_X mapped to ABS_Y if they export a bad set of usages (see the DragonRise joysticks IIRC -> fixed in a specific HID driver) - *_MISC + N might (will) conflict with other defined axes (my Logitech H800 exports some multitouch axes because of that) - this prevents to freely add some new evdev usages, because "hey, my headset will now report ABS_COFFEE, and it's not coffee capable". So let's try to kill this nonsense, and hope we won't break too many devices. I my headset case, the ABS_MISC axes are created because of some proprietary usages, so we might not break that many devices. For backward compatibility, a quirk HID_QUIRK_INCREMENT_USAGE_ON_DUPLICATE is created and can be applied to any device that needs this behavior.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
