[PATCH v3] input: tablet: add Pegasus Notetaker tablet driver

Martin Kepplinger
2016-05-23T11:40:16Z

This adds a driver for the Pegasus Notetaker Pen. When connected,
this uses the Pen as an input tablet.

This device was sold in various different brandings, for example
"Pegasus Mobile Notetaker M210",
"Genie e-note The Notetaker",
"Staedtler Digital ballpoint pen 990 01",
"IRISnotes Express" or
"NEWLink Digital Note Taker".

Here's an example, so that you know what we are talking about:
http://www.staedtler.com/en/products/ink-writing-instruments/ballpoint-pens/digital-pen-990-01-digital-ballpoint-pen

http://pegatech.blogspot.com/ seems to be a remaining official resource.

This device can also transfer saved (offline recorded handwritten) data and
there are userspace programs that do this, see https://launchpad.net/m210
(Well, alternatively there are really fast scanners out there :)

It's *really* fun to use as an input tablet though! So let's support this
for everybody.

Any advice or objections?

I'm sure this would be used if available like this. It was a quite popular
device.

I use it for quite some time and like it a lot. Only a one-line-fix is the diff
from v3 to v2, https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg44683.html

revision history
================
v3 fix reporting low pen battery and add USB list to CC
v2 minor cleanup (remove unnecessary variables)
v1 initial release
