[PATCH 03/21] HID: axff: move FF initialization to .input_configured()
From: Dmitry Torokhov
Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 14:56:07 EST
The driver currently initializes force-feedback in its probe() function
after calling hid_hw_start() with HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT. This is racy as
the input device is already registered and visible to userspace at that
point.
Move the FF initialization to the .input_configured() callback to ensure
the device is fully prepared before registration.
