Prefereably, a manufacturer-model-serial_number call would be available from evdev. Minimally, a uniq non-changing ID could be useful. I found this in linux-2.6.31.1/drivers/input/evdev.c: if (_IOC_NR(cmd) == _IOC_NR(EVIOCGUNIQ(0))) return str_to_user(dev->uniq, _IOC_SIZE(cmd), p); How is "dev->uniq" constructed?USB HID devices populate this field with data from descriptor.iSerialNumber. I suppose we should do that in other USB drivers as well, patches are welcome.
Hi Dmitry.T, I was just getting around to seeing if i could add manufacturer-model- serial_number ioctl functionality. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
