[PATCH 2/4] HID: asus: Filter spurious HID vendor codes on ROG laptops
From: Ionut Nechita (Sunlight Linux)
Date: Wed Jan 07 2026 - 06:20:12 EST
From: Ionut Nechita <ionut_n2001@xxxxxxxxx>
On Asus ROG G14 and G15 laptops, several HID vendor usage codes (0xea,
0xec, 0x02, 0x8a, 0x9e) are sent during normal operation without a clear
purpose, generating unwanted "Unmapped Asus vendor usagepage code"
warnings in dmesg.
Add definitions for these codes and filter them out in asus_raw_event()
to prevent kernel log spam.
Tested on Asus ROG G14/G15 series laptops.
