Allow driver to initialize only input_dev->rep[REP_DELAY] and input_dev->rep[REP_PERIOD], but then use the input timer and repeat function from input.c. For example, a HID driver could do: static void xyz_input_configured(struct hid_device *hid, struct hid_input *hidinput) { hidinput->input->rep[REP_DELAY] = 400; hidinput->input->rep[REP_PERIOD] = 100; } static struct hid_driver xyz_driver = { .input_configured = xyz_input_configured, } Signed-off-by: Petri Gynther <pgynther@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/input/input.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/input/input.c b/drivers/input/input.c index 5391abd..1984ba5 100644 --- a/drivers/input/input.c +++ b/drivers/input/input.c @@ -2115,6 +2115,15 @@ int input_register_device(struct input_dev *dev) dev->rep[REP_PERIOD] = 33; } + /* + * If the driver didn't initialize the timer data and function, then + * handle the autorepeating here in input.c. + */ + if (!dev->timer.data && !dev->timer.function) { + dev->timer.data = (unsigned long) dev; + dev->timer.function = input_repeat_key; + } + if (!dev->getkeycode) dev->getkeycode = input_default_getkeycode; -- 2.6.0.rc2.230.g3dd15c0 -- 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
