After copying the HEAD 'hid-lg.[ch]' and 'hid-lg4ff.[ch]' from 4.7,
there is a minimal patch (example attached) required to get the build
working.

Don't you need hid-logitech-hidpp too?

Hi Benjamin,
Nope, the 'hid-logitech-hidpp.ko' driver is separate and (for wheels) only
has support for the G920 wheel. Other Logitech wheels are handled by
'hid-logitech.ko'.

Not sure I understand exactly what you want from us here.

A puppy. ;-)

The stable rules are detailed in
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt. And unfortunately, I don't
think adding these patches will be acceptable for upstream 3.10.

After reading through these I would agree with you, that this is a
nice-to-have not a need-to-have. So, the patch is here if anyone wants to
use it personally or for a distribution.

Thank you for your comments,
Simon.
