Hi Tero,


I have a question. As you know, USI provides a room for vendors to differentiate their stylus. If a vendor wants to add reach features to differentiate their stylus. Do you think the vendor needs to come up with like HID-USI-<vendor>.c to configure the corresponding usages(vendor-defined data) ? or we should use other approach ? like register callbacks via HID-core ?
