Re: [PATCH] HID: Recognize "Digitizer" as a valid input application

Thanks for the response, Jose.

Unfortunately this isn't an issue that we can fix in the Wacom driver
since it affects devices that don't use the Wacom driver. While we
could theoretically adopt affected VID:PIDs into the Wacom driver on a
case-by-case basis, there would be a large time lag between us
adopting a device and users running the required kernel. This should
really be something that is fixed in the hid-generic driver, even if
it means some pain trying to ensure we don't break things in the
process... I'm still hoping to hear something back from Benjamin about
my hid-tools test results or if additional testing is needed.

Still waiting to hear back about this. Are positive results from the
hid-tools tests sufficient, or is there additional work that should be
done for this patch?
A while ago a similar patch was sent [1] and it was in a similar status
to your patch for a while, so I decided to fix the issue in the UCLogic
driver [2].

I can not tell you if this patch needs additional work, but you might be
interested in fixing it in the Wacom driver, where it'd be easier for you
to test that no regressions are introduced.

I hope this helps a bit,
Jose
