Re: [PATCH 35/36] hid: roccat: convert class code to use bin_attrs in groups

Hello Greg,
looking through the patch I found the following:



In hid-roccat-kone.c, PROFILE_ATTR macro:
The line
 .private = &profile_numbers[number],
should read
 .private = &profile_numbers[number-1],

Ah, ok, thanks, will fix up.

Regarding the compiler warning about unused pyra_sysfs_write_settings:
The attribute is indeed readwrite, but the code to write is not standard
code. The read function was created with the PYRA_SYSFS_R macro and the
write function was written manually. Used were both by
PYRA_BIN_ATTRIBUTE_RW.
In this case I would keep the PYRA_SYSFS_* macros standalone so that the
calling code looks like this:

PYRA_SYSFS_W(control, CONTROL);
PYRA_SYSFS_RW(info, INFO);
PYRA_SYSFS_RW(profile_settings, PROFILE_SETTINGS);
PYRA_SYSFS_RW(profile_buttons, PROFILE_BUTTONS);
PYRA_SYSFS_R(settings, SETTINGS);

PYRA_BIN_ATTRIBUTE_W(control, CONTROL);
PYRA_BIN_ATTRIBUTE_RW(info, INFO);
PYRA_BIN_ATTRIBUTE_RW(profile_settings, PROFILE_SETTINGS);
PYRA_BIN_ATTRIBUTE_RW(profile_buttons, PROFILE_BUTTONS);
PYRA_BIN_ATTRIBUTE_RW(settings, SETTINGS);

Hm, I'll look this over again and see if I can make it better.

But why are you using a "non standard" write function?  What is special
here about this?

Another thing: Why does nobody (besides me) use the get_maintainer.pl
script, so I have to search manually for patches regarding my code?

I did use it:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --file drivers/hid/hid-roccat-kone.c 
Jiri Kosina [off-list ref] (maintainer:HID CORE LAYER)
linux-input@vger.kernel.org (open list:HID CORE LAYER)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

You aren't listed there, perhaps a MAINTAINERS entry needs to be added?

thanks,
