The kernel is supposed to handle multiple devices, static flags
in packet handling code will never work.

This is a random assortment of iforce patches that I made a few weeks back.

Tim, I do not have hardware, so I was bound to screw it up, but if you
have some time I'd appreciate if you try them out (and if I indeed broke
things if you could identify issues that would be even more awesome).

Thanks!

Hello Dmitry,

I tested those patches and I didn't find any obvious issues. The basic functions
do work (i.e. buttons and axes, don't have a HAT so I can't test that), force
feedback seems to work to the extent it was before (I only have fftest though,
no games that support force feedback). I'll go through a few more applications
and see if anything not obvious is broken.

Thank you for taking a look.

Unfortunately, I only have that one wheel and I can only test USB connections
at the moment (unless I find a proper serial adaptor, but I'm not sure if that
would even work).

Are those patches planned to go into 4.19 or are they intended to be merged in
the next development cycle?

Definitely not 4.19. Could be 4.20 or 4.21...

Thanks.

Hello Dmitry,

as a followup to the last E-Mail I sent about this topic, the complete chain
of patches has been in my personal tree since September of 2018 and there
have been no issues so far as well. I tested a few more games and utilities,
and I was able to test with multiple wheels simultaneously as well.

In the end it's still your decision, but imo those patches should be fine

Thank you Tim, I'll put your name down as Tested-by then.
