Hi,

what is the policy on uapi. It being for user space means
that it should be as complete as possible, even if the kernel does not need stuff,
should it not?

If the kernel does not need it, why add it to a uapi .h file as there is
nothing that userspace could do with it, right?

Or are you talking about USB protocols/structures that userspace can use
by talking to a USB device directly?

Specifics would be great to have, thanks.

Hi,

I wanted to get this clarified in principle.

In this particular case I found that we are lacking definitions
in uapi for authentication descriptors. User space can definitely
see them.
