[PATCH v11 14/18] HID: asus: expose XG Mobile identity and firmware information
From: Denis Benato
Date: Sun Oct 25 2026 - 19:56:17 EST
From: Denis Benato <benato.denis96@xxxxxxxxx>
The identity query also reports the mainboard part number, the serial
number and the part number of the station, and the 0xCE 0x03 query
answers with an 8-byte binary blob followed by "tag, length, data"
fields where GEN holds the station generation and VER the firmware
version.
Collect this information at probe time and expose it read-only on the
HID device:
/sys/bus/hid/devices/<bus>:<addr>.<intf>/xgm_model (PRO)
.../xgm_serial (SN)
.../xgm_mainboard (MB)
.../xgm_part_number (PNUM)
.../xgm_firmware_version (VER)
.../xgm_generation (GEN)
