Subject: [PATCH 05/21] HID: bigben: move FF initialization to .input_configured()
Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2026 11:46:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803-hid-ff-input-configured-v1-5-1dc9bbacd88c@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() with HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT. 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.
