[PATCH bpf-next v6 09/23] HID: core: store the unique system identifier in hid_device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This unique identifier is currently used only for ensuring uniqueness in
sysfs. However, this could be handful for userspace to refer to a specific
hid_device by this id.

2 use cases are in my mind: LEDs (and their naming convention), and
HID-BPF.
