[PATCH v2 0/4] HID: wiiu-drc: Add a driver for the Wii U gamepad

From: Emmanuel Gil Peyrot
Date: Tue May 11 2021 - 16:16:22 EST


This driver is for the DRC (wireless gamepad) when plugged to the DRH of
the Wii U, a chip exposing it as a USB device.

I tried to use this driver on master over usbip on my laptop, but usbip
disconnects the device right after the driver created the
/dev/input/event* files, so instead I have only tested this driver on
the 4.19 branch of the linux-wiiu[1] downstream.

Other than that, pretty much all of the HID parts of the gamepad work,
it’s only missing microphone, camera and NFC input now but those are
mostly standard (read require quirks) and pertain to other subsystems,
so I felt like this can be upstreamed already.

Changes since v1:
- Rename interfaces to be less redundant.
- Add comments for potentially unclear things.
- Reword some commits to include more needed information.
- Include all needed includes.
- Use helpful helper functions instead of (badly) reimplementing them
myself.
- Always return the correct type for each function, to avoid some
bool/int confusion, or returning 0 to mean error.
- Use myself as the module author, even though Ash did most of the
initial work, I’m the one who will be maintaining this module from now
on.
- Use input_set_capability() instead of set_bit(…, keybit) to also set
BIT(EV_KEY) on evbit[0].
- Call hid_hw_start() before input_register_device() but after the setup
functions, so that hid_hw_open() is never called before it.
- Add missing spin_lock_init() for the battery lock.
- Use a static atomic for the drc_num, and remove the comment about
using the interface number.
- Interpret battery report as the voltage coming from an ADC, instead of
the completely wrong ENERGY_NOW it was before.

So basically addressing Jonathan’s and Barnabás’ comments. :)
