I'm sorry if you feel like it was a personal attack. I'm sure the
upstream code is working good and that there is no extra tests and
that you implemented it that way without proper testing and
validating. What I meant was that the initial code was not exactly
meant to address the particular problem of sensor hub (at that time,
we only needed to check for one input report). However, I need now to
add a test against a feature report, which would need a new custom
detection, and a heavy modification of the existing code.

oops, this is not intentional. I'll try to fix this in v2.

It is not a problem if you don't have a commercial sensor hub :)
Thanks for adding Srinivas in CC.

Thanks, this will help me to test against your report descriptors.
Can I also ask you to send me some hid-recorder[1] traces of your
sensor? With hid-replay, I can then re-inject them in the hid
subsystem, and then I include the results in a regression test suite.

Cheers,
Benjamin
