Keybaords with arrays of RGB LEDs was Re: Future handling of complex RGB devices on Linux v2

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

So... I got two gaming keyboards. One is totally unusable (and it
looks LEDs are not controllable from the host), and the second one is
.. HyperX Elite RGB. Needs 2 USB connections, very buggy, probably
needs repair, and I'd not recomend it to anyone. But that one seems to
be usable for RGB keyboard development.

(Unusable one is
https://www.trust.com/en/product/23651-gxt-835-azor-illuminated-gaming-keyboard
Usable one is
0951:16be Kingston Technology HyperX Alloy Elite RGB
)

First step is to create some kind of driver, I believe. And I did
that, userland version works quite good, and I started hacking kernel
one. Version is below, and help would be welcome. Especially if
someone knows how to do the probing right (it binds 3 times, log
below). What is worse, loading this driver kills keyboard
functionality -- input is no longer possible. Is there simple way to
keep that functionality?

Best regards,
								Pavel
