Many HID Improvements For Linux 4.1, Wacom Bamboo Pads Properly Supported
Jiri Kosina has queued up a range of HID driver updates for the now in-development Linux 4.1 kernel.
Among the highlights for this generally interesting subsystem are a merging of the hid-huion driver into hid-uclogic due to overlapping functionality, i2c-hid now supporting ACPI GPIO interrupts, improvements to the Logitech lg4ff driver that provides force feedback support for Logitech Gaming Wheels, multi-touch support for clickpads, major updates to the hid-sensor framework, and the Wacom driver now supports i2c-connected devices as well as Bamboo PADs now being properly supported. The Wacom driver also has improved battery reporting and pen proximity clean-ups. There's also the usual device ID additions and other code clean-ups / bug-fixes throughout the HID subsystem.
More details on the HID changes for the Linux 4.1 merge window can be found via the Indiana LKML archives.
