Add surface (streamdeck) autorescan when device is plugged in #4

Closed john-bednar closed 1 year ago

john-bednar commented 1 year ago

This patch is adding useful funcionality of rescanning USB surfaces when Streamdeck devices are connected. We have replicated already existing PIDs so it should react at least for already defined devices. We have tested it with Streamdeck XL (0fd9:006c).

We hope, using udev notify based on KERNEL=="hidraw*" is the most reliable.

We have tried and successfully built image with packer. For use before merge you only need to switch repo to this fork on the line 60 in packer file.
