ff-memless-next (MLNX) is a largely improved version of the current ff-memless
(FFML) driver. MLNX supports all force feedback effects currently available in
the Linux force feedback userspace API. All effects are handled in accordance
with Microsoft's DirectInput/XInput. Most notable changes include support for
conditional effects, proper handling of all periodic waveforms and improved
emulation of rumble effects through periodic effects. MLNX also uses its own
kernel API to pass processed effects to hardware-specific drivers instead of
abusing "ff_effect" struct. The API is documented in the respective header
file.
MLNX has been expanded to be a direct replacement for FFML.
Support for FF_PERIODIC and FF_RAMP has been added to all devices that
support FF_CONSTANT as a part of the port to the new API.
This patch series:
1) Adds "ff-memless-next" module [1]
2) Ports all hardware-specific drivers to MLNX's API [2-23]
3) Removes FFML and replaces it with MLNX [24]

v4:
- Add a summary of changes between MLNX and FFML to the last patch
- Remove a stale empty line in hid-sony.c
- Add "Tested-by: Elias Vanderstuyft <elias.vds@xxxxxxxxx>" to hid-lg4ff patch.
v3:
- Rebase against latest linux-next. Fixes conflict in hid-sony.c and
max8997_haptic.c
- Updated documentation in ff-memless-next.h. The documentation now describes
parameters of the callback function and specifically mentions that
HW-specific drivers must not keep a reference to mlnx_effect_command struct
to which a pointer is passed in the callback function.
- Fix a minor brace inconsistency in hid-lgff
I believe that all concerns regarding v2 have been resolved as false alarms.
v2:
- Add missing msecs to jiffies conversion in ff-memless-next
- lgff: Properly convert force on Y axis from MLNX to device range
Support periodic effects for "joystick_ac" device class
- lg3ff: Properly convert forces from MLNX to device range
- Very minor coding style issues fixed
