Linux 5.1 To Deal With More Quirky Hardware From The Lenovo X1 Tablet To ASUS Transbook

There's no shortage of quirky HID hardware out there. With the upcoming Linux 5.1 kernel cycle will be more fixes/workarounds for such consumer devices.

The latest hardware to be fixed up in the HID space with the forthcoming Linux 5.1 include:

- Fixed axes support for the Logitech WingMan Formula GP, racing wheels and pedals for gaming.

- Support for the trackpoint and buttons on the Lenovo X1 Tablet 3rd generation.

- A fix for the Steam Controller kernel driver where with new firmware it would be stuck in a 10 second reboot cycle.

- Battery monitoring support for the Bluetooth keyboard dock on the Transbook T100CHI/T90CHI.

- ASUS Transbook T90CHI support in the ASUS HID driver.

The other HID changes queuing for the Linux 5.1 kernel cycle can be found via this Git branch.
