We now access all of our devices through user level means so it's no longer necessary to blacklist our input devices. The idea is that our input devices can now be used as HID input devices when our software isn't running thus giving the users more flexibility with our input devices. Before I submit a patch to remove our devices from the blacklist, I was just looking for a quick method of testing our devices while attached to the HID driver. If I could whitelist them temporarily through some user level means, that would make my QA guys a bit happier. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
