Subject: Re: [PATCH v1] hid-playstation: DS4: Update rumble and lightbar together
Hi Max,
Thanks for your patch. I'm a little hesitant to make changes here. The
console itself does the updates similar to this, though there are
different userspace kind of ways there to send things (so some paths
may kind of do what you saw). These flags are often used also to
enable other features in the output report (e.g. audio settings or
many others).
This driver is used in a lot of devices. Different vendors ranging
e.g. car manufacturers, phones, TVs,.. have their own unit /
regression tests suites to test integration. Where they send FF rumble
for example and check the bits in the output reports
We went through a lot of pain with many of such vendors (and are still
going through some). I would rather not shake things up for such a
narrow use cases for non-official devices.
Thanks,
Roderick
