From: Banajit Goswami <redacted> Some devices may not support specific type of input devices. For example, when a headset or extension cable with GND/MIC swap is plugged into a headset jack that does not support the headset/cable, it needs to be reported with a corresponding input event. Also, increase the max values for INPUT_DEVICE_ID_SW_MAX and SW_MAX, to accommodate future extension of the number of event.
I do not think that adding this switch is a good idea as it will not allow you to easily extend the reporting and to convey to the user why something is not supported. I would look into alternate mechanism to signal when and why a headset/peripheral was rejected. Thanks. -- Dmitry
