[PATCH 06/12] HID: asus: add triggers inner and outer range configuration

From: Denis Benato

Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 10:48:19 EST


ROG Ally devices allows configuring inner and outer ranges for triggers
buttons on the back: allow userspace to configure the sesitivity by
exposing sysfs attributes.
