[PATCH 6/8] HID: bpf: add a BPF to get the touchpad type

From: Benjamin Tissoires

Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 12:33:47 EST


Currently the kernel is scheduled to do this call by itself, but it
requires a kernel v6.18 at least to have the INPUT_PROP set. For older
kernels, we can try to query the property from a HID-BPF probe, and set
a udev property based on that. This way we can provide the information
to old kernels without modifying them.
