Hi Dario,

thanks a lot for working on enabling these devices on Linux.

Two questions:

- I don't think we need to have this in a separate driver, is there a 
  substantial reason why it can't be folded into hid-thrustmaster proper?

- Looking at what the code actually does, it seems like this could 
  completely be done in userspace via libusb as a hook in udev when such 
  device is plugged in, can't it?

Thanks,
