Submitting driver to the Linux Kernel #29

Hi there!

I love your work. Any plans on submitting this driver to be added to the Linux Kernel?

Kind regards, Pieter

Hi, I would love to see it there as well, but it's nowhere near to meet the coding standards required to get it there. In addition, I think it would be favorable to have a common solution for all these out-of-tree FFB drivers, like new-lg4ff (were I pretty much stole all the code from), or hid-tmff2 ... Unfortunately, I don't have the time to work in this direction atm ... Buy let's see what the future brings ;)

@gotzl Maybe we can start small by collecting all the wheel base ids and making a pull request for systemd , eliminating the need for setting fuzz/deadzone ?

Someone did that for simucube devices, at least they use git pull requests (unlike main kernel development): https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/25501/commits/fbe73bda72bf6e12ac1e38229e02bca55ac7f804
