This callback is called when the parsing of the report has been done
by hid-core (so after the calls to .event). The hid drivers can now
have access to the whole report by relying on the values stored in
the different fields.

I think this is more useful if called before the individual fields. In
fact, it seems raw_event() is already doing exactly that. No need for
a new callback, in other words.

raw_event() doesn't provide equivalent functionality though; namely, the
report is not parsed.

Or have I missed your point?

No, you perfectly understood the purpose of the patch. raw_event() and
report() are not the same kind of callbacks at all.

Thanks for the extensive review, Henrik, it's really helpful.

Yep, thanks Henrik, and thanks Jiri for having a look at it.

Cheers,
