It seems the protocol resembles more the hid-lg2ff one. The differences
are the additional 0xfa 0xfe 0x0 report sent to the device, and the
missing 0xf3 stop command.

Yep - different reports are send in case of Pantherlord and GreenAsia
0x12 - It could be implemented in it but it will require checking what
hardware is used and send different reports.

OK, so as the reports are not really identical, and in the future we might
discover that there are many more other Greenasia devices which require a
slightly different handling as well, I would rather prefer to have it as a
separate driver, to avoid additions of here-and-there device-specific
quirks to random places in the code. That's exactly what we are trying to
avoid with the HID bus approach in the first place.

So I think separate driver is fine.

Thanks to both of you.

Hi,

Here is new version of the GreenAsia patch - I hope this time
everything will be OK. It is based on the Pantherlord.

Sorry to take so long but I have problems with the 2.6.28 (2.6.28-rc6
was not loading my driver and 2.6.28-rc7 is crashing when IO APIC is
enabled). Anyway I done it and I'm waiting for your feedback :D
