Subject: [PATCH v12 01/17] HID: asus: size feature reports from the HID report descriptor
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 17:41:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261031174130.208240-2-denis.benato@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261031174130.208240-1-denis.benato@linux.dev>
The ASUS vendor protocol uses the same feature report IDs across very
different devices: on N-KEY keyboards and ROG Ally report 0x5A/0x5E are
64-byte reports, while on XG Mobile stations report 0x5E is a 300-byte
report. The driver currently hardcodes transfer lengths (16 bytes for
the handshake, FEATURE_KBD_REPORT_SIZE for reads, ROG_XGM_REPORT_SIZE
for the XG Mobile LED, ROG_ALLY_REPORT_SIZE for the MCU version read),
which mismatches what the hardware expects and would break if a new
device used yet another size for the same report ID.
Derive the transfer length of every feature report from the HID report
descriptor of the device at hand:
- add asus_report_len(), which resolves a report ID to its struct
hid_report and returns hid_report_len();
- asus_kbd_set_report() now zero-pads short payloads to the exact
report size and rejects payloads that do not fit the report;
- add asus_kbd_get_report() and use it from asus_kbd_init() and
asus_kbd_get_functions() so reads are sized per report as well;
- asus_xgm_led_set() sends a minimal payload and checks the transfer
result against the descriptor length instead of the hardcoded
ROG_XGM_REPORT_SIZE, which is removed along with the fixed-size
buffers in asus_kbd_set_fn_lock() and asus_kbd_set_brightness();
- mcu_request_version() sizes the 0x0d response from the descriptor
and names the keyboard feature report FEATURE_KBD_REPORT_ID.
ROG_ALLY_REPORT_SIZE has no remaining user and is removed.
Captured USB traffic of the same commands issued by Windows shows they
are always written at the full report length, which this change now
matches.
