I do not think this is the direction I want to go. Even though the
default size of the input devices (thanks to your work) is half of what
it is used to be I do not think we should be assing such anonymous event
types. How about creating separate vent devices that would report
ABS_PRESSURE for these? Obviously you need userspace to understand such
compound device, the same as with new ABS_PAD* types.
I guess we need to increase numer of available event devices from 32 to
something larger (dynamic dev_t?) first...
Thanks.
