Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] HID: steelseries: Add support for Arctis headset lineup

[Benjamin Wheeler]

Hello,

I'm Benjamin, and I coincidentally have also been looking into this 
driver. Sriman, if you would like, I'd be happy to work together on this 
driver with you! In reviewing your patches, I have found and fixed a bug 
in my local tree regarding battery requests.

The Steelseries Arctis 7 and Arctis 7 (2019 ed.) are not implemented in 
the battery request logic, and simply report 100% (the default value 
during battery registration). I discovered this bug while testing your 
driver with my Arctis 7 :-)

Would you like me to send a formal patch for this? I also have some 
patches I can send that clean up the battery logic in general that make 
the code less complex.

I am also happy to look into creating ALSA mixers/switches as well. 
Please let me know how I can help! Excellent work so far, and smart 
choice in using HeadsetControl, they've done most of the heavy lifting 
for us.


Sincerely,

Benjamin Wheeler
