Re: [PATCH/RFC] HID: logitech: read all 32 bits of report type bitfield

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

 



The patch looks perfect to me. Wonderful 'get_unaligned_le32' that I
looked for and did not find when trying to fix the original code.

On my side no issues for Jiri to apply it.

Thanks again Jonathan and Hugo.

Cheers,
Nestor.
