[PATCH v5 0/9] HID: steelseries: split out Arctis driver and add Nova 7 Gen2 support

From: Sriman Achanta

Date: Tue Jun 30 2026 - 13:31:47 EST


This series moves the SteelSeries Arctis headset support out of
hid-steelseries.c into its own module, reworks it around a per-model
device_info table, hardens the battery power-supply lifetime, adds an
asynchronous status interface, and finally adds support for the Arctis
Nova 7 Gen2 family. After the split, hid-steelseries.c is left handling
only the SRW-S1 racing wheel.

Changes since v4:
- Refactor: send the Arctis 1 and Arctis 9 status requests as output
reports again. v4 regressed these to feature reports during the
refactor, which can stall the endpoint and break battery polling.
The now-unused feature-report helper is removed.
- Refactor: the Arctis 1 parser validates the report length and the
0x06 0x12 header before consuming a report as battery status,
instead of parsing every incoming report.
- Refactor: the Arctis 9 parser only reads capacity/charging from a
0xaa 0x01 status frame and treats every other frame (including the
0x55 "no status" and the 0x03 "stale" replies) as disconnected.
- Refcounting: register the power supply into a local variable and
publish sd->battery only on success, so a concurrent raw_event can
never observe an error pointer.
- Async: publish the sync interface's drvdata only once the device is
fully initialised, so the async sibling never attaches to a
half-initialised or failed instance; the probe error path is
simplified accordingly.
- Async: the sibling lookup verifies the sibling is bound to this
driver and takes a reference before using its data, guarding against
type confusion and use-after-free.
- Dropped the standalone "Fix whitespace in srws1 report descriptor"
patch from v4; it was unrelated churn and the descriptor is left
untouched from upstream.
- Rebased on the 7.2 merge window.
