[PATCH 08/18] HID: logitech-hidpp: rework G920 force-feedback initialization

From: Dmitry Torokhov

Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 01:15:34 EST


Querying G920 force-feedback capabilities inside .input_configured()
requires toggling device I/O mid-registration and conflates device
configuration with input setup. At the same time, the single allocated
state structure mixes per-device wheel settings with the lifetime of the
input force-feedback queue, complicating error handling and cleanup.

Exclude generic USB PID force feedback for validated HID++ devices and
query the G920 force-feedback configuration during probe while device
I/O is already active. Keep both probe query failures and force-feedback
initialization errors non-fatal so basic wheel and pedal inputs remain
usable without force feedback, while ensuring failed initialization
leaves input capabilities clean.

Split the overloaded force-feedback state by lifetime so device-level
G920 wheel settings are devm-managed for the bound device lifetime,
while the input force-feedback queue and slot tracking are allocated
with a flexible array and owned strictly by the force-feedback device.
