It's purely micro-optimization, and yes, mallocs must kill the processing time. However, the purpose of this patch and the others entitled 'optimize XXX' is to show that I did not invented the new default class. My true objective is to remove all the quirks related to the 'valid' information in order to have a driver as universal as possible and to be able to clean it up. > Considering the must-be-tested-for-regression risk on top of that, > this patch falls far below what is worth doing, IMHO. It _has_ been tested. I got the HID traces from FlatFrog and either they use different firmwares with different processing in their devices, the kernel processing is good.
