Re: [PATCH v2] Input: improve autorepeat initialization

Hi Dmitry,

Allow driver to initialize its own values for input_dev->rep[REP_DELAY]
and input_dev->rep[REP_PERIOD], but also use the software autorepeat
functionality from input.c.

For example, a HID driver could do:

static void xyz_input_configured(struct hid_device *hid,
                                 struct hid_input *hidinput)
{
        hidinput->input->rep[REP_DELAY] = 400;
        hidinput->input->rep[REP_PERIOD] = 100;
        hidinput->input->softrepeat = true;
}

static struct hid_driver xyz_driver = {
        .input_configured = xyz_input_configured,
}

Please ignore this patch v2.
Better solution is to move the code from if-statement to an exported
function and call it here and from drivers when desired.
Sending patch v3 shortly.
