![]() Most HID devices behave properly when they are used with hid-generic. Since kernel v4.12, we do not poll for input reports at plug in, so hid-generic should behave properly with all HID devices. There has been a long standing list of HID devices that have a special driver. It used to be just a few, but with time, this list went too big, and we can not ask users to know which HID special driver will pick up their device. We can teach hid-generic to be nice with others. If a device is not explicitly marked with HID_QUIRK_HAVE_SPECIAL_DRIVER, we can allow hid-generic to pick up the device as long as no other loaded HID driver will match the device. When the special driver appears, hid-generic can step back and let the special driver handling the device. In case this special driver is removed, this good old pal of hid-generic will rebind to the device. This basically makes the list hid_have_special_driver[] useless. It still allows to not see a hid-generic driver bound and removed during boot, so we can keep it around. This will also help other people to have a special HID driver without the need of recompiling hid-core.
