The HID subsystem updates recently landed into the mainline Linux 6.11 kernel codebase. Notable for HID in this next kernel version is continued work on HID-BPF to make it more robust and useful. - rewrite of the HID-BPF internal implementation to use bpf struct_ops instead of a tracing endpoint - add 2 new HID-BPF hooks to be able to intercept userspace calls targetting a HID device and filtering them - add support for various new devices through HID-BPF filters - add support for the magic keyboard backlight - add the missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros in HID drivers - use of kvzalloc in case memory gets too fragmented - retrieve the device firmware node in the child HID device - some hid-uclogic improvements - some more typos, trivial fixes, kernel doctext and unused functions cleanups Those HID improvements landed last week and are ready to go for Linux 6.11.
