[PATCH 03/11] HID: asus: prevent binding to all HID devices on ROG

From: Antheas Kapenekakis
Date: Wed Mar 19 2025 - 15:14:38 EST


ROG keyboards are HID compliant. We only care about the endpoint that
produces vendor events (e.g., fan mode) and has the keyboard backlight.
If we attach to all the endpoints, we end up generating errors during
probe for two of them because they are missing the ->input attribute
and risk side effects during input fixups.
