[PATCH] Input: break joystick limitation of maximum 80 buttons

From: Wei Shuai
Date: Sat Jul 11 2020 - 19:55:11 EST


The joystick max buttons 80 limitation comes from

#define BTN_JOYSTICK 0x120
#define BTN_DEAD 0x12f
#define BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY 0x2c0
#define KEY_MAX 0x2ff

include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h

according to function hidinput_configure_usage() in file drivers/hid/hid-input.c

the joystick button mapping is not a continues space
generally speaking, the mapping space is from

1. BTN_JOYSTICK~BTN_DEAD
2. BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY~KEY_MAX

Finally, I got the max limitation is 80.
The patch is expanding KEY_MAX from 0x2ff to 4ff
and the change has been verified on 104 button USB HID device on Ubuntu
