Re: [PATCH] HID: hid-sensor-hub: do not process feature reports in raw_event

[Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com>]

Daniel,

I am looking at 3.9.rc1.
The only place I see the raw_event callback is called from 
hid/hid_input_report(). hid_input_report is called with type 
HID_INPUT_REPORT in all cases, except hid_ctrl(), where it can be 
different depending on xx.report->type. But here, the return value is 
not checked.

Do you know the call chain for HID_FETURE_REPORT, where this is creating 
problem?

Thanks,
Srinivas
