Looks like that one landed at least in hid-nintendo.c in the kernel (from what I'm seeing in a 6.2.2 arch kernel sources here) not sure if it landed in hid-nx though, looking.

Looks to not be in hid-nx.c yet. Ignore my noise.

Yeah, I just need to find time to do this. I was unemployed last year, so I had more energy for these sorts of things.

jpwhiting commented 1 year ago

Yep, no worries. Enjoying this so far. Are there plans to get this into mainline at some point in the short or long terms?

In the short term: no, nothing’s planned. I’m pretty busy with my day job.

In the long term: I’ve wanted to, but there are some issues. I’ve done some relatively invasive refactoring that makes my changes difficult simply to drop in place. I also just don’t really know the process, or how welcome such changes would be, so I am guessing I would have to backport my changes to slot into the mainline module less intrusively.

That essentially means rewriting much of what I’ve done here, with all that implies for stability.
