Re: [RFC] HID:hid-lg4ff: Delay to allow wheels to center after plug-in

Show all headers | View raw

Hi all,

maybe instead of stalling the entire init() function it'd be better to put a 
request to disable autocentering on a workqueue and start a delayed work once 
the init() function is done setting the wheel up? There'd be a bit more code 
to write though...
