Re: [PATCH] HID: support for initialization of some Thrustmaster wheels

Add support for proper initialization of some Thrustmaster wheels that
appear like a "Thrustmaster FFB Wheel" (044f:b65d) to the host. When the
device is connected a special usb request is sent, this request makes the
wheel disconnect and reappear to the host as the "real wheel".
For example: a T150 will re-appear as 044f:b677 and a T300 as 044f:b66e

Hi Dario,

thanks a lot for working on enabling these devices on Linux.

Two questions:

- I don't think we need to have this in a separate driver, is there a 
  substantial reason why it can't be folded into hid-thrustmaster proper?

- Looking at what the code actually does, it seems like this could 
  completely be done in userspace via libusb as a hook in udev when such 
  device is plugged in, can't it?

Thanks,
