I was just wondering where we have multiple HID devices on a single parent, but yeah, uhid is a good example. I actually have no objections to this patch and it looks fine. But I cannot tell whether anyone relies on this. I'd say we should give it a try.

Agreed, let's take it for 3.14, and if anyone complains about breakage caused by this (which I don't expect), we'll revert to the previous state.

You dropped the "Reviewed-by:" part in your commit-msg: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=bbe3175408cde792fbaa5bd1e41e430ea9e4fb4f Not sure, whether you sometimes rebase your tree. If you do, you might wanna fix it, otherwise, I don't care. Just wanted to point it out.

I am really trying to make the tree non-rebasing. If you don't mind, I wouldn't take this as a reson to rebase. I can put you twice to some patch later to balance this out :p Thanks for understanding,

we used to set the parent of the input device as the parent of the hid bus. This was introduced when we created hid as a real bus, and to keep backward compatibility. Now, it's time to proper set the parent so that sysfs has an idea of which input device is attached to which hid device. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@redhat.com> --- Hi Jiri, well, the regression test did not showed anything bad, and a look at the hid drivers also showed that no drivers should be armed by that. I think this is valuable because it will give a better understanding of the actual mapping hardware/inputs. Like a touchscreen with pen + touch will have the same hid parent, and I expect X/Wayland to be able to detect this at some point to keep the mapping correctly between the two input devices and the screen. I also need that for hid-replay, so that I can be sure which input is attached to which uhid device, and give up the heuristics I currently use.
