ROG means ASUS "Republic of Gamers" laptops. The input device info also represents itself as "ASASTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG MacroKey". It uses special HID_USAGE code for function keys. This commit remap the special code to standard keycode for function keys handling. It's verified on GL553VD/VE, GL753VD/VE. Signed-off-by: Chris Chiu <redacted> Reported-by: Yukai Li <redacted> ---Hi Chris, there is no real point of having a separate driver from hid-asus. The HID tree prefer to group drivers by vendors, so these keyboards should be supported through hid-asus.Thanks for the feedback. We will submit a new version soon. Just to confirm, hid-asus currently depends on I2C_HID. The new devices being quirked now are USB devices. With this patch should we now update it to depend on I2C_HID && USB_HID?
Actually you can remove the I2C_HID dependency entirely (and not add one for USB_HID). In the Kconfig, the modules are already guarded by a "if HID", and there is nothing transport specific in hid-asus as far as I can tell. Note: we should also probably clean up the Kconfig once again and remove all the "depends on HID" for those that are guarded by the if statement. Cheers, Benjamin
