Re: [RFC 0/1] User-space I/O driver for HID subsystem (Bluetooth-LE HIDP)

Hi Jiri,
quoted
I have hacked together a small driver which allows user-space I/O drivers to
provide HID devices. This is needed for Bluetooth-Low-Energy HID devices as the
Bluetooth-LE protocol is parsed in user-space.
David,

thanks for your effort.

I haven't read the full discussion you have CCed me on yesterday, but I 
have one substantial question to start with -- is there a simple 
explanation in a few sentences why Bluetooth-LE can't be added as a 
in-kernel transport layer?

Answering that is, I believe, something that should start the whole 
discussion.
that has been discussed. My point is that the Bluetooth SIG made a
mistake with their specification here. And my original words were much
harsher ;)

Let me make an analogy. It is like HID over XML. You don't want that in
the kernel.

Regards

Marcel
