I wonder if the report descriptors are not enough to provide the information that the keyboard backlights are driven by wmi instead of plain HID (or if there is any register that tells us that the backlights are not handled by HID). If not, then I have nothing against the approach.

Thus, we imply that we have more users when dependency is satisfied than otherwise. Which is simply not true. Thus, you add a bulk dependency to unsuspecting users w/o any need.

I'm not familiar with this argument, but I'm happy to work on a solution along these lines. Upon initial attempt I can't find a clean approach that avoids the corner cases that you mentioned though. Specifically in the case of HID_ASUS=y and ASUS_WMI=m, we cannot try to branch out to the newly exposed asus-wmi functionality since we cannot have the kernel binary depend on a module. Are you envisioning something like this code in hid-asus? static bool asus_kbd_wmi_led_control_present(struct hid_device *hdev) { #if defined(CONFIG_HID_ASUS) && defined(CONFIG_ASUS_WMI_MODULE) return 0; #elif defined(CONFIG_ASUS_WMI) || defined(CONFIG_ASUS_WMI_MODULE) u32 value; int ret; ret = asus_wmi_evaluate_method(ASUS_WMI_METHODID_DSTS2, ASUS_WMI_DEVID_KBD_BACKLIGHT, 0, &value); hid_dbg(hdev, "WMI backlight check: rc %d value %x", ret, value); if (ret != 0) return false; return !!(value & ASUS_WMI_DSTS_PRESENCE_BIT); #endif } Thanks Daniel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

No, no. Not uglifying it with #ifdefs. Like I said earlier one part of the solution is to add #ifdef into asus-wmi.h which you include here. The other part is to carefully crafted Kconfig line for dependency that allows you to handle that corner case. I don't remember by hart how to cook that, but we have some examples in kernel. I would check if I can find one. Though you may try to find yourself as well. > > static bool asus_kbd_wmi_led_control_present(struct hid_device *hdev) > { > #if defined(CONFIG_HID_ASUS) && defined(CONFIG_ASUS_WMI_MODULE) > return 0; > #elif defined(CONFIG_ASUS_WMI) || defined(CONFIG_ASUS_WMI_MODULE) > u32 value; > int ret; > > ret = asus_wmi_evaluate_method(ASUS_WMI_METHODID_DSTS2, > ASUS_WMI_DEVID_KBD_BACKLIGHT, 0, &value); > hid_dbg(hdev, "WMI backlight check: rc %d value %x", ret, value); > > if (ret != 0) > return false; > > return !!(value & ASUS_WMI_DSTS_PRESENCE_BIT); > #endif > }

I have looked through many Kconfig files under drivers as examples, and I can't see any way to write the "depends on" line to enforce the specific required logic of disallowing HID_ASUS=y combined with ASUS_WMI=m, other than the approach that I already put in the patch: config HID_ASUS tristate "Asus" depends on LEDS_CLASS depends on ASUS_WMI The alternative is to use "select", but that also deviates away from your suggestion, and I don't think it's right.

Any clarifications? I guess you are looking something like below with corresponding header that provides stubs in case it's not enabled. depends on CHARGER_BQ24190=y || (CHARGER_BQ24190=m && m)

And there is no need to add any stub headers as far as I can see, but I must admit I still don't understand why this type of dependency statement is preferred over a simple "depends on ASUS_WMI".

The Asus GL502VSK has the same 0B05:1837 keyboard as we've seen in several Republic of Gamers laptops. However, in this model, the keybard backlight control exposed by hid-asus has no effect on the keyboard backlight. Instead, the keyboard backlight is correctly driven by asus-wmi. With two keyboard backlight devices available (and only the acer-wmi one working), GNOME is picking the wrong one to drive in the UI. Avoid this problem by not creating the backlight interface when we detect a WMI-driven keyboard backlight. We have also tested Asus GL702VMK which does have the hid-asus backlight present, and it still works fine with this patch (WMI method call returns UNSUPPORTED_METHOD).
