I've seen those patches in the mailing list (and I thought they already got 
merged heh) so I'll keep a close eye and rebase as needed.

I somehow missed that, will change.

According to Aren's reference sheet he wrote up for this tablet, the 0x10 and 
0x20 values are reported by the right dial (left frame: 
02:f0:00:00:00:00:00:20:00:14, right frame: 02:f0:00:00:00:00:00:10:00:14). 
Dumping the contents of data[frame->bitmap_dial_byte] yields the same result. 
The left dial works like usual, 02 for left and 01 for right.

As for recieving reports of the two dials turning at the same time... I can't 
seem to make it do that. This tablet is pretty big, and I can't turn the dials 
fast enough.

I actually looked a little into the UGEE v2 init functions to see if I could 
reuse anything (but to be honest, I really just skimmed) but I will take a 
second look to see if I can consolidate it.

Yeah here's the 14 bytes of "buf" here:
buf[0] = 000c
buf[1] = 0003
buf[2] = 0030
buf[3] = 00ba
buf[4] = 009a
buf[5] = 0068
buf[6] = 0006
buf[7] = 0000
buf[8] = 00ff
buf[9] = 001f
buf[10] = 00ec
buf[11] = 0009
buf[12] = 0080
buf[13] = 0072

I'm not sure you made a typo, but buf[6] in uclogic_params_parse_ugee_v2_desc 
is reading the button count, which reports as 6 for some reason. buf[7] is 0 
though, so it appears that its still reporting as UCLOGIC_PARAMS_FRAME_BUTTONS 
(I could just be misunderstanding the strdescs) or the frames are completely 
different.

Yeah I will consolidate this case if I manage to merge this with the other 
UGEE v2 tablet support.

I didn't see that array in ugee_v2_init, what I'll do is match the variables 
defined in your cleanup patch (I believe it's closely identical already), so it 
makes rebasing easier no matter what order they're merged in.

Yeah I think so, at first I didn't consider it but on closer inspection - the 
offsets are the same (just for some reason, out of order). I'll be looking into 
testing the pen using this descriptor on the second revision, maybe Pro-series 
and UGEE v2 aren't so different after all!

Same as above, same structure - different order (but it's all semantic, same 
offsets) so I'll be consolidating if it works out.

I'll be reviewing the descriptor data, ideally it should but I don't have high 
hopes (as shown above) but I'm going to be testing it more.

Thank you for the review! I'll be resubmitting a second version of the patch 
with your suggestions and making sure the kernel test bot is happy - and 
hopefully there will be a lot less duplication structure-wise.
