HID-over-I2C devices might reset on their own. Any device configuration
applied before the reset might be brought back to defaults so we need to
reconfigure to make sure the driver state is consistent.
Add a reset callback to the hid driver structure.
Issue it if the driver implements it and the device reset gets observed.

Hi guys,
This is a patch introducing callbacks to be issued when device reset gets
noticed. The discussion started in one of the previous linux-input threads [0].
Please let me know if there is anything to fix.
Regards,
Angela

Thanks.

I think it could result in a deadlock. If we don't clear
I2C_HID_RESET_PENDING, and if it has been set, then reset_lock
is still taken. This way, if the reset callback wants to send a report
to the device, it will keep spinning on reset_lock
in i2c_hid_output_raw_report().
Since the reset callback will be most likely used to re-configure
the device, we need to be able to send any report and not hang
on reset_lock.
Let me know if you think this not an issue or there is an additional
comment needed in the patch so that the reasoning standing
by the order of issuing the callback and clearing the bit is clear.

I think you are both correct, and that this patch thus needs some changes:
- first, I'd like to have one user at least of this reset callback in
a subsequent patch. Adding one callback without user is just adding
dead code
- then there are 2 types of reset that probably each need a special treatment:
* host initiated resets: those are the ones "racing" with
i2c_hid_hwreset(), in a sense that this function call might also call
POWER_ON on some devices, which means we can not immediately do
transfers to the device with this current code
* device initiated resets (when I2C_HID_RESET_PENDING is not set):
that code is fine in that case, because we have no other entry point
- there is a third type of resets happening: on probe and resume, so
maybe there we do not want to call this callback simply because we
already have probe and reset_resume callbacks.
Cheers,
Benjamin

ACK, I will send it with a new version of haptic patches.

that code is fine in that case, because we have no other entry point
- there is a third type of resets happening: on probe and resume, so
maybe there we do not want to call this callback simply because we
already have probe and reset_resume callbacks.
Now that I look at the code it looks as if the reset callback should
not be able to take reset_lock at all as it will be executed in the
interrupt context.
I am not sure if I understand all of the issue, so here is my plan:
- issue the reset callback only if the I2C_HID_RESET_PENDING bit has
not been set,
- add a comment stating that the callback must not wait/sleep as it
will be called in the interrupt context (any feature reports must be
deferred).
Are there any races left in this scenario? I suppose reset_lock should
be enough to make sure we don't send any feature reports when
i2c_hid_hwreset() is being executed.
