Rebinding works perfectly well for me. I use it all the time when

Thank you.

I've tried it, but it doesn't work for me, because HID report descriptors
are not re-parsed after rebinding and I rely on report_fixup's a lot. Please
see my reply to Jiri for slightly more details:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/23708/focus=24337

Furthermore, there is a dynid-implementation in the kernel so when hacking
on something like this I'd recommend using this. It would also remove the
hard limit that you currently have.

Thanks, but this doesn't suit me currently. I don't implement report parsing
in my drivers, but rather describe every device protocol separately with a
report descriptor and rely on the generic driver for parsing. Thus, I save
in code complexity and maintenance, but loose in portability.

However, I plan to make a non-HID driver for Waltop tablets, using their
proprietary, HID-incompatible protocol and there I will probably use that.

Sincerely,
Nick
