[RFC v2 05/10] HID: asus: remove quirk handling for Ally devices
From: Antheas Kapenekakis
Date: Sat Apr 25 2026 - 18:00:34 EST
Ally device controllers had suspend issues due to the faulty s2idle
ordering present in the kernel, causing a failure to resume. These
issues were partially addressed with a firmware update, leading to
the introduction of a version check in this driver.
However, after fixing the call ordering in s2idle and adding a small
delay particularly for Ally devices, the controller for these devices
is universally fixed for all firmware versions, including the spurious
resume bug requiring set_ally_mcu_powersave(True) for the controller to
function correctly on newer firmwares.
Therefore, remove the check and cleanup the driver.
