Re: [PATCH 2/2] drivers: hid: warn feature report 0x81

[Roderick Colenbrander]

I see in the other email. If it doesn't support this request, it is
likely a clone device. We are about to submit a brand new DS4 driver
(for hid-playstation). It will use a different report (0x12) if I
recall which does the same thing. That's the more mainstream one we
use.

Thanks,
Roderick
