Subject: Re: [PATCH] HID: Sony: Add support for Gasia controllers

Hi Martyn,

Thanks for sharing your patch. Though I must say with my Sony hat on,
I don't really like supporting clone devices (they hijack our device
ids.. etcetera) and we support hid-sony in an official capacity now
across various devices. Though thischange  all relates to PS3
generation, which is not that important anymore so it shouldn't matter
that much.

Thanks,
Roderick

I don't like this pattern so much. We only need this "ret" check for
SHANWAN and GASIA. I would just do:

if (!(sc->quirks & (SHANWAN_GAMEPAD | GASIA_GAMEPAD))) {
    int ret = hid_hw_raw_request(....);
    if (ret >= 0)
       return;
}

hid_hw_output_report(....)
