HID: input: Add HID_BATTERY_QUIRK_DYNAMIC for Elan touchscreens

2026-03-11T14:26:47+00:00

Elan touchscreens have a HID-battery device for the stylus which is always there even if there is no stylus. This is causing upower to report an empty battery for the stylus and some desktop-environments will show a notification about this, which is quite annoying. Because of this the HID-battery is being ignored on all Elan I2c and USB touchscreens, but this causes there to be no battery reporting for the stylus at all. This adds a new HID_BATTERY_QUIRK_DYNAMIC and uses these for the Elan touchscreens. This new quirks causes the present value of the battery to start at 0, which will make userspace ignore it and only sets present to 1 after receiving a battery input report which only happens when the stylus gets in range.

HID: Document memory allocation properties of report_fixup()

2026-02-19T17:57:38+00:00

The memory pointer returned by the report_fixup() hook does not get freed by the caller. Instead, report_fixup() must return (in return value and *rsize) a memory buffer with at least the same lifetime as the input buffer (defined by rdesc and original *rsize). This is usually achieved using one of the following techniques: * Returning a pointer and size to a sub-portion of the input buffer * Returning a pointer to a static buffer * Allocating a buffer with a devm_*() function, which will automatically get freed when the device is removed.

drivers: hid: renegotiate resolution multipliers with device after reset

2025-11-26T16:21:48+00:00

The scroll resolution multipliers are set in the context of hidinput_connect(), which is only called at probe time: when the host changes the value on the device with a SET_REPORT(FEATURE), and the device accepts it, these multipliers are stored on the host side, and used to calculate the final scroll event values sent to userspace. After a USB suspend, the resume operation on many hubs and chipsets involve a USB reset signal as well. A reset on the device side clears all previous state information, including the value of the multiplier report. This reset is not handled by the multiplier handling logic, so what ends up happening is the host is still expecting high-resolution scroll events, but the device is reset to default resolution, making the effective, user-perceived scroll speed incredibly slow. The solution is to renegotiate the multiplier selection after each reset. This is not the only bug related to the high-resolution scrolling implementation in the kernel (the other one is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220144), but for this one, there is no device side workaround for, leading to poor user experience with our product: https://github.com/UltimateHackingKeyboard/firmware/issues/1155 https://github.com/UltimateHackingKeyboard/firmware/issues/1261 https://github.com/UltimateHackingKeyboard/firmware/pull/1355 This patch was tested by an affected user and has been reported to fix the issue (see discussion in 1355).

HID: core: Change hid_driver to use a const char* for name

2025-09-17T09:48:01+00:00

name is never mutated by the core HID stack. Making name a const char* simplifies passing the string from Rust to C. Otherwise, it becomes difficult to pass a 'static lifetime CStr from Rust to a char*, rather than a const char*, due to lack of guarantee that the underlying data of the CStr will not be mutated by the C code.

HID: i2c-hid: Make elan touch controllers power on after panel is enabled

2025-08-25T16:18:39+00:00

Introduce a new HID quirk to indicate that this device has to be enabled after the panel's backlight is enabled, and update the driver data for the elan devices to enable this quirk. This cannot be a I2C HID quirk because the kernel needs to acknowledge this before powering up the device and read the VID/PID. When this quirk is enabled, register .panel_enabled()/.panel_disabling() instead for the panel follower. Also rename the *panel_prepare* functions into *panel_follower* because they could be called in other situations now.
