From aa9b760cec2385ad408bb2e346c7f6dc1be69a79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Walleij Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2018 11:32:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] HID: fix up .raw_event() documentation The documentation for the .raw_event() callback says that if the driver return 1, there will be no further processing of the event, but this is not true, the actual code in hid-core.c looks like this: if (hdrv && hdrv->raw_event && hid_match_report(hid, report)) { ret = hdrv->raw_event(hid, report, data, size); if (ret < 0) goto unlock; } ret = hid_report_raw_event(hid, type, data, size, interrupt); The only return value that has any effect on the processing is a negative error. Correct this as it seems to confuse people: I found bogus code in the Razer out-of-tree driver attempting to return 1 here.
