[PATCH 15/21] HID: thrustmaster: move FF initialization to .input_configured()

From: Dmitry Torokhov

Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 15:08:53 EST


The driver currently initializes force-feedback in its probe() function
after calling hid_hw_start(). 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.
