Hi Antheas,

I checked. hid-sigmamicro only fixes the 0x0059 report descriptor, and
I found no SiGma Micro backlight driver on lore.

1c4f:007c also appears on the AYANEO Slide in hhd-dev/hwinfo, with the
same vendor interface (report ID 0x41, 7-byte feature report). I only
have a Flip KB, so I can only test the byte layout there.
Matias's hid-ayaneo already claims 1c4f:0002 behind a DMI check for
AYANEO 3. Would you prefer that I add 007c backlight support to
hid-ayaneo once it is merged, or keep a separate driver named after
the chip? I lean towards hid-ayaneo, since the Slide may work the same
way, but I would like your view first.
I will also fix the two sashiko comments in v2.
Thanks,
Hijae
