    HID: lg4ff - Move handling of Logitech wheels to lg4ff driver · 7362cd22
    Michal Malý 提交于
    This is the first out of five patches me and Simon Wood (CC'd) have been
    working on. It separates the handling of Logite from the generic lgff driver
    and adds additional features specific for the Logitech wheels, namely
    
    - Native mode support for Driving Force GT, Driving Force Pro, G25 and G27
    wheels Every Logitech wheel reports itself as generic Logitech Driving Force
    wheel (VID 046d, PID c294). This is done to ensu wheel will work on every USB
    HID-aware system even when no Logitech driver is available. It however limits
    the capabilit wheel - range is limited to 200 degrees, G25/G27 don't report the
    clutch pedal and there is only one combined axis for t brake. The switch to
    native mode is done via hardware-specific command which is different for each
    wheel. When the wheel receives such command, it simulates reconnect and reports
    to the OS with its actual PID.
    
    - Adjustable wheel range DFGT, DFP, G25 and G27 have variable range of the
    steering wheel. The range is limited by applying a maximum constant when the
    wheel is turned beyond the allowed range. The limit as also set by a
    hardware-specific command. There is a comm command for DFGT, G25 and G27 and
    another one for DFP. It is probably possible to use the DFP command to limit
    the range other Logitech wheels too, but this is not supported by the official
    Logitech driver for Windows.  The patch adds a sysfs interface which allows for
    the range to be set from userspace.
    
    - Fixed autocentering command All Logitech wheels support FF_AUTOCENTER effect.
    The original implementation in the lgff driver didn't work well with patch
    fixes it. According to USB communication sniffs the Formula Force EX (pretty
    much rebranded original Driving Force accept the generic autocentering command,
    this issue is also addressed by the patch
    
    There are still some features this patch doesn't cover, but since some of them
    will most likely require modifications of memless driver we have decided not to
    include them yet.
    
    As first we decided to move the handling of Logitech wheels from hid-lgff
    driver to hid-lg4ff driver (originally used fo At also adds PID of Logitech
    Driving Force GT.
