Re: kernel driver for USB liquid cooler controls

I have a corsair h100i v2, I am currently only developing with that atm.
I am currently using the protocol from
https://github.com/audiohacked/OpenCorsairLink which supports pretty
much all corsair products.
I dont have the money myself to buy all the products available but
https://github.com/jonasmalacofilho/liquidctl has other devices
available.
They are both GPL licensed so that should be no problem.
I have no idea who would test other products/brands, but since a lot
share the same controller it might not be that big of a deal.
