Dear Jiri Kosina,

Thank you for your propt reponse.


Please refer to accossories below.


static const struct hid_device_id samsung_devices[] = {
	{ HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_SAMSUNG, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAMSUNG_IR_REMOTE) },
	{ HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_SAMSUNG, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAMSUNG_WIRELESS_KBD_MOUSE) },
    { HID_BLUETOOTH_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_SAMSUNG_ELECTRONICS, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAMSUNG_WIRELESS_KBD) },
    { HID_BLUETOOTH_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_SAMSUNG_ELECTRONICS, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAMSUNG_WIRELESS_GAMEPAD) },
    { HID_BLUETOOTH_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_SAMSUNG_ELECTRONICS, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAMSUNG_WIRELESS_ACTIONMOUSE) },
    { HID_BLUETOOTH_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_SAMSUNG_ELECTRONICS, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAMSUNG_WIRELESS_UNIVERSAL_KBD) },
    { HID_BLUETOOTH_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_SAMSUNG_ELECTRONICS, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAMSUNG_WIRELESS_MULTI_HOGP_KBD) },
	{ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(hid, samsung_devices);


Mobile users prefer to use Bluetooth devices instead of USB devices.
The commit should be reverted for Bluetooth accessories.

Due to internal problem, it takes time to upload Samsung's patch.
So, please first revert the commit :)

Thanks

BR.
Junwan.

Could you please elaborate a little bit more -- which Bluetooth device 
(VID/PID) are you referring to please? hid-samsung as-is in mainline 
should only match against these two:
 
        static const struct hid_device_id samsung_devices[] = {
                { HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_SAMSUNG, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAMSUNG_IR_REMOTE) },
                { HID_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_SAMSUNG, USB_DEVICE_ID_SAMSUNG_WIRELESS_KBD_MOUSE) },
                { }
        };
        MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(hid, samsung_devices);
 
which are both USB devices, not Bluetooth.

That's not how Linux development works though.

That would be very much appreciated, thanks.
 
Once you do so, you can very well become maintainers of hid-samsung driver 
(which would make a lot of sense for someone from Samsung to actually 
participate in development of that driver), and have much better influence 
on what goes in and in which form.

I still would like to understand this part, because as far as I can tell, 
the in-kernel one is.
 
Thanks,
