From 85b7720039fc000b561c20fe2aaa3b54cddae4a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Henrik Rydberg Date: Sat, 18 Dec 2010 20:51:13 +0100 Subject: Input: introduce device properties Today, userspace sets up an input device based on the data it emits. This is not always enough; a tablet and a touchscreen may emit exactly the same data, for instance, but the former should be set up with a pointer whereas the latter does not need to. Recently, a new type of touchpad has emerged where the buttons are under the pad, which changes logic without changing the emitted data. This patch introduces a new ioctl, EVIOCGPROP, which enables user access to a set of device properties useful during setup. The properties are given as a bitmap in the same fashion as the event types, and are also made available via sysfs, uevent and /proc/bus/input/devices.
