Subject: RFC: Backport HID-logitech to 3.10?

Hi all,
I received a question regarding back-porting the support for the G29
racing wheel to 3.10 (Android in particular), and after some collaborative
work we determined that changes between 3.10 and 4.7 are actually pretty
minimal and self contained.

After copying the HEAD 'hid-lg.[ch]' and 'hid-lg4ff.[ch]' from 4.7, there
is a minimal patch (example attached) required to get the build working.

My question to the list would be how this would/could be implemented, and
how the process works as 3.10 moves through the mainline patches to reach
current HEAD.

Any hints that anyone has would be appreciated.
Simon.
