That mode also appears to preclude use of INTERRUPT transfers at all, unless there's some way to set up two hidg nodes that map to the same interface, with one for INTERRUPT and one for SET_FEATURE. If this breaks that, I suppose that's a regression, but this is meant to augment the original, long-standing mode so you can mix INTERRUPT and SET/GET_FEATURE transfers, as there is no way to do that yet. Honestly, the alternate mode seems more like a workaround, as far as I can tell, and not an ideal implementation. I'm not sure when it was added, but as I was originally authoring this against 5.13 and didn't see it until I went to rebase onto master, it can't have been that long ago. So if it breaks any software (which I don't believe it does), it would only affect very new software. > >>>> > >>>> As I alluded to, I'd thought about perhaps adding a second node per interface so one would act as INTERRUPT transfers and the other as SET/GET_FEATURE transfers, but I already had this code half written and wanted to get feedback first, especially since what I have now works (although it's not well-tested after rebasing). > >>> > >>> I'm a little confused here about what you call an alternative mode. > >>> Are we talking about use_out_ep=1 (default behavior with INTERRUPT) > >>> or use_out_ep=0 (SETUP/SET_REPORT)?

It didn't exist in 5.13, so as I said I wasn't aware of it until I rebased. As the device I'm using is still stuck on that old kernel (for now) and I don't know if I have any USB gadget capable devices on new kernels, I was unable to test it, and would very much like to make sure it doesn't regress before a patch is merged. I wasn't intending to break it, but I figured I'd get feedback I'd need to change before this was merged so if you could test it to ensure it doesn't regress any behavior that would be much appreciated and help me out.

We're in the middle of rebasing onto a newer kernel, so I might be able to test it myself soon. What software are you using? I'm using PiKVM on Raspberry Pi 4 (https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm) but for generic testing you need to make the usual ways of using gadget work in both modes: https://www.isticktoit.net/?p=1383 Unfortunately, I'm still away and I can't use my equipment :/
