Summary:

   Add support for the HID type cover input devices on the Pro 8 and all
   requirements for that.


Blurb from v1:

   This series adds support for the type cover of the Surface Pro 8. On
   the Pro 8, the type cover is (unlike on previous generations) handled
   via the Surface System Aggregator Module (SSAM). As the type cover is
   detachable, care needs to be taken and the respective SSAM (HID)
   client devices need to be properly removed when detached and
   re-initialized when attached.
Therefore, this series does three things: 1. Improve hot-removal support for SSAM client devices. When
       hot-removing clients, subsequent communication may time out.
In the worst case, this can lead to problems when devices are
       detached and re-attached quickly, before we can remove their
       respective kernel representations. This can then lead to devices
       being in an uninitialized state, preventing, for example, touchpad
       gestures from working properly as the required HID feature report
       has not been sent.
Therefore, handle hot-removal of devices more gracefully by
       avoiding communication once it has been detected and ensure that
       devices are actually removed.
2. Generify SSAM subsystem hubs and add a KIP hub. On the Surface Pro
       8, the KIP subsystem (only that abbreviation is known) is
       responsible for managing type-cover devices. This hub acts as the
       controller for device removal similar to the BAS (detachable base)
       subsystem hub on the Surface Book 3 (therefore we can share most
       of the code between them).
3. Add the (HID) type-cover clients of the Surface Pro 8 to the
       aggregator registry.


Changes in v2:

  - Introduce "platform/surface: aggregator: Allow is_ssam_device() to be
    used when CONFIG_SURFACE_AGGREGATOR_BUS is disabled" to fix an
    undefined reference  build issue when CONFIG_SURFACE_AGGREGATOR_BUS
    is disabled.

  - Make SSAM hub device UIDs consistent.
     - Introduce "platform/surface: aggregator_registry: Change device ID
       for base hub" to make association between hub and subsystem target
       category more obvious.
     - Change hub device ID for KIP subsystem hub to be consistent with
       the id of the already existing BAS hub.

Thank you for your patch-series, I've applied the series to my
review-hans branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=review-hans

Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be
added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually
will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next
merge-window.

Jiri, Benjamin, note I've also taken the one small(ish) HID patch
which is a part of this series, despite it lacking an Ack from
either of you. I hope this is ok, if not let me know.

Sorry I am well behind on my patch processing.

The patch is simple enough and if you reviewed the rest, that is fine by me.

Just for the archives:
For the HID part
Acked-by: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tisssoires@xxxxxxxxxx>

(no need to force push your branch unless you think it's really important to have my ack).

Cheers,
Benjamin


Regards,

Hans
