Subject: [PATCH] Input: refuse to register absolute devices without absinfo
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2017 15:15:15 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170131231515.GA37218@dtor-ws> (raw)
If device is supposed to send absolute events (i.e. EV_ABS bit is set in
dev->evbit) but dev->absinfo is not allocated, then the driver has done
something wrong, and we should not register such device. Otherwise we'll
crash later, when driver tries to send absolute event.
