Subject: RE: [PATCH 1/2] HID: hid-sensor-hub: Clear HID_CLAIMED_INPUT bit
 earlier

Hi Axel,

We don't need this anymore as when connect_mask is 0, the hid_connect will not be called.
So we don't need hdev->claimed = HID_CLAIMED_INPUT anymore.

Thanks for the review.

I check the implementation of hid_hw_start again, it looks hid_hw_start allows connect_mask to be 0.
So we don't need setting  "hdev->claimed = HID_CLAIMED_INPUT;" here.
Comments?
