Sounds great. The recent investigations into the properties of the hid
device identity for multitouch suggests that the ll driver could be
seen as the owner of the hid device itself, and should take on the
responsibility of both report fixups and determining the device
identify (read modalias). Using generic code (hid-owner?) of course. I
am experimenting with a couple of patches for it. Would you all agree
with this assessment?
