Re: [PATCH 2/9] HID: make a bus from hid code

Hi!

Marcel Holtmann napsal(a):
+static struct hid_driver hid_generic_bt = {
+ .name = "hid-generic-bt",
+ .id_table = hid_generic_bt_ids,
+};

And this one to hidp_driver instead of hid_generic_bt.

Also the name "hid-generic-bt" is not okay. Call it "hidp" since that is
the driver name. An alternative would be "hid-bluetooth". I don't like
the "generic" part and we never used the shortcut "bt" in any sysfs
visible file.

Thanks for comments, I fixed all those except this one. The generic- word is tested in the core to recognize generic drivers which bind non-blacklisted devices and are handled separately. Anyway I've renamed them to generic-bluetooth and generic-usb instead of hid-generic-{bt,usb}.

I think the generic word in the driver name is OK, so that one ordinary user can see, my device is handled by the generic driver without special processing. Would you rather see some flag or something?
