+/**
+ * UI_DEV_SETUP - Set device parameters for setup
+ *
+ * This ioctl sets parameters for the input device to be created. It must be
+ * issued *before* calling UI_DEV_CREATE or it will fail. This ioctl supersedes
+ * the old "struct uinput_user_dev" method, which wrote this data via write().
+ * To actually set the absolute axes, you also need to call the ioctl
+ * UI_ABS_SETUP *before* calling this ioctl.
+ *
+ * This ioctl takes a "struct uinput_setup" object as argument. The fields of
+ * this object are as follows:
+ * id: See the description of "struct input_id". This field is
+ * copied unchanged into the new device.
+ * name: This is used unchanged as name for the new device.
+ * ff_effects_max: This limits the maximum numbers of force-feedback effects.
+ * See below for a description of FF with uinput.
+ *
+ * This ioctl can be called multiple times and will overwrite previous values.
+ * If this ioctl fails with -EINVAL, you're recommended to use the old
+ * "uinput_user_dev" method via write() as fallback, in case you run on an old
+ * kernel that does not support this ioctl.
+ *
+ * This ioctl may fail with -EINVAL if it is not supported or if you passed
+ * incorrect values, -ENOMEM if the kernel runs out of memory or -EFAULT if the
+ * passed uinput_setup object cannot be read/written.
+ * If this call fails, partial data may have already been applied to the
+ * internal device.

+ * This ioctl sets one absolute axis information for the input device to be

+ * for every absolute axis the device exports.
+ * This ioctl supersedes the old "struct uinput_user_dev" method, which wrote
