Thanks for the refactoring the patch. The .raw_request in hid_ll_driver is not correct, the output of sensor is not raw but it is processed one,

so better to move it to .request function. Regarding your question for sensor position well it comes from firmware. So i am not sure about the firmware

for sensor , what you have.Also, regarding the IOMMU, we figured out the issue, earlier patch series has bug that during DMA allocation pdev was passed

from platform driver context, where in for IOMMU needs context PCI pdev. So that is taken care in your refactored patch hence issue is disappeared.


Now regarding the patch (with your changes) i need to validate at our side. Due to lockdown i dont have access to the system, so may be we can wait on that.


Thanks
