Hi Peter,

Many thanks for taking a look at this and for the review comments.

I see now, thanks. So I think we can simplify all this and make the
assumption that a recent kernel version will be used, so we can remove
the fallback code.

My intention was to use EVIOCGREP here instead of 'S', so instead of
fixing the comment I'd fix the ioctl. Thanks.

Right, I'd add in the next version.

Fixed in the next version.

Yes, one of the main purposes is to test EVIOC**S**REP, but I skipped
and sent a first version only testing the EVIOC**G**REP test to catch
feedback from the mailing list. In the next version I'll include both
tests, for getting and setting the repeat values (I think it makes
sense).
