[PATCH 1/1] HID: ignore afatech 9016

[PATCH 1/1] HID: ignore afatech 9016

[Jiri Slaby]

Let's ignore the device altogether by HID layer. It's handled by
dvb-usb-remote driver properly already.

By now, FULLSPEED_INTERVAL quirk was used. It probably made things
better, but the remote ctrl was still a perfect X killer. This was
the last user of the particular quirk. So remove the quirk as well.

With input going through dvb-usb-remote, the remote works
perfectly.

Hmm, why do we keep HID_QUIRK_IGNORE anyway, when we already have generic 
hid_ignore_list[]?

We don't set it for any device in the current codebase any more.

Thanks,x

You returned it back because of dynamic quirks...

Oh yeah, it's hard for people who don't remember code they wrote :).

[PATCH v2 1/1] HID: ignore afatech 9016

[Jiri Slaby]

Let's ignore the device altogether by the HID layer. It's handled
by dvb-usb-remote driver already.

By now, FULLSPEED_INTERVAL quirk was used. It probably made things
better, but the remote controller was still a perfect X killer.
This was the last user of the particular quirk. So remove the quirk
as well.

With input going through dvb-usb-remote, the remote works
perfectly.

The device is 15a4:9016.

Pekka, did you have chance to verify whether it works fine also with your 
version of the remote, or you still need the FULLSPEED_INTERVAL quirk on 
your side?

Well, as I said I use now different TV-stick. But I have the old one 
somewhere. I'll try to find it and check it.

Yes, I saw this quite recently too. For me it appears when it is booted
up with the stick in. It's still to be fixed.

Yeah, and that's the reason why it doesn't work.

To what statement is it in contradiction? The statement above is for
interrupt transfers.

Which code? I see no code being copied.

Common code does not work well here. Don't you see weird key repetitions
and similar?

In this case I suppose this is why dvb-usb-remote exists.

Maybe it can be handled better by a separate driver (still) as a part of
the HID layer nowadays.

Patrick, Johannes, why was not dvb-usb-remote implemented rather as a
part of the HID layer?

Can't be HID bus with a specific driver used instead now?

I suspect you are using old firmware, 4.65.0.0 probably, that does not 
support remote polling and thus this 255 errors seen.

For me:
af9013: firmware version:4.95.0

As I wrote, for me it happens iff it is plugged-in while booting. I'll
investigate it further later -- that it a reason why I haven't reported
it yet.

In the old kernel (2.6.24) it did not work if it was plugged while 
booting. If I recall right then it was due to the order different layers 
are initialized (modules loaded).

Re: dvb-usb-remote woes [was: HID: ignore afatech 9016]

[Pekka Sarnila]

Ok, that was it, I had the old firmware. Now it works with the patch. I 
can now see that the afateck driver does not use the HID 
interface/endpoint (1/83) at all, but vendor specific bulk endpoint (0/81).

The fact that manufacturers have started to more more use the usb vendor 
class instead of the HID class is probably partly a consequence of HID 
specification being poorly designed. Oh, well. More work for driver writers.

Anyway, I'm still of the opinion that the ir-to-code translate should be 
per remote controller not per tv-stick (ideally loaded by kernel from 
the userspace table, and easily modifiable by userspace program).

All in all the remote controller stack is IMHO a real mess: different 
level translates (in kernel and in user space), different user program 
interfaces (keyboard with or without the special keys (many programs 
recognize only the standard keyboard keys), lircd direct, lircd/dcop). 
Really easiest is to modify kernel to get what you want. For average 
user the task of getting remote to do what they want is close to mission 
impossible. Hope someone would do something about this.

Most of the question here are already answered or no more actual, but

The answer was that there is no contradiction since the 150 ms was for 
the bulk endpoint (0/81). When writing this I thought af9015.c used the 
HID endpoint (1/83), which is interrupt endpoint, as an bulk endpoint.

>>>I suspect, to make it work, much of the code from hid-driver should be

I meant that to make af9015.c to use HID endpoint past HID layer would 
require copying big parts from the HID layer to af9015.c. Again it was 
due to the above misunderstanding on my part.

No, it worked ok for me.

Because it's for device specific drivers that uses vendor class endpoint 
instead of the HID class endpoint.

This has been, it seems, the one of the very goals of IR input coding: 
to make remotes other than the ones provided with tv-stick to work with 
that same stick.

Well the driver was at the time not part of the standard kernel 
(downloaded form Matti Palosaaris site). And I put there directly the 
keycodes that worked with command line mplayer. No standard solution.

Well it could, but this way it is much less work and more generic. I use 
many different joysticks, yokes and pedals. And with some generic 
modifications and improvements into generic HID layer and generic input 
layer all worked well. Only joystick layer got to be completely rewritten.

I did never put this upstream because by the time I got my own patches 
integrated to the (new) kernel, the hid/input layer had developed so 
much that the patches could no more be used in the latest kernel. So I 
hand applied them again, and again kernel had moved on, and so on. Also 
to argue for patches that cover several areas and several maintainers is 
difficult, and changing a lot at once is always risky. So I gave up.

If anyone is interested, I could take a look again and see if the 
changes could be argued and applied incrementally instead of one big bunch.

Hi Pekka,

yes, we are definitely interested (or at least I am).

The major rewrite of the HID core to be full-fledged bus was done exactly 
so that it's easier to add support for new devices, while keeping the main 
code clean.

Even if you have problems porting the drivers to new infrastructure, you 
can always post wha you have -- I believe that we will be able to sort it 
out quickly.

Thanks,
