Subject: [PATCH 14/21] HID: pantherlord: move FF initialization to .input_configured()
Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2026 11:46:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803-hid-ff-input-configured-v1-14-1dc9bbacd88c@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803-hid-ff-input-configured-v1-0-1dc9bbacd88c@gmail.com>

The driver currently initializes force-feedback in its probe() function
after calling hid_hw_start(). This is racy as the input device is
already registered and visible to userspace at that point.

Move the FF initialization to the .input_configured() callback to ensure
the device is fully prepared before registration.
