Re: [PATCH] HID: hid-sensor-hub: do not process feature reports inraw_event

Daniel,

I am looking at 3.9.rc1.
The only place I see the raw_event callback is called from hid/hid_input_report(). hid_input_report is called with type HID_INPUT_REPORT in all cases, except hid_ctrl(), where it can be different depending on xx.report->type. But here, the return value is not checked.

Do you know the call chain for HID_FETURE_REPORT, where this is creating problem?

Thanks,
Srinivas

In sensor_hub_raw_event(), HID feature reports are ignored but are
still marked as processed. This causes the in-kernel struct not to be
updated. Any non-updated fields in the feature reports are zero, and
they are being sent to the device. This causes confusion in the
sensor hub firmware, and some sensors are not powered up as a result.

This changes the raw_event rountine to only process input reports,
and let the hid core handle the incoming feature reports.

The issue has been observed on Acer Iconia W700.
