From 00891586d2c9d36622b17b1c1f3a6e961d409238 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Jos=C3=A9=20Exp=C3=B3sito?= Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 10:59:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] HID: uclogic: Expose firmware name MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Some vendors reuse the same product ID for different tablets, making it difficult for userspace to figure out which table is connected. While matching the device name has been used in the past by userspace to workaround this limitation, some devices have shown that this is not always a valid approach [1]. However, if userspace could access the firmware version name, it would be possible to know which tablet is actually connected by matching it against a list of known firmware names [2]. This patch exposes the firmware version name in the hid->uniq field.
