Re: [PATCH v1] hid-playstation: DS4: Update rumble and lightbar together

[Max Staudt <max@enpas.org>]

On second thought, maybe we can sidestep this discussion entirely by 
using a new Kconfig to have both states configurable.

Something like:

   CONFIG_HID_PLAYSTATION_V6_6_ANDROID_TEST_COMPAT

Improvements such as my patch would be turned off when this flag is 
enabled, and the driver behaviour reverted to the v6.6 LTS behaviour. So 
Android kernels would enable it, and everyone else (especially desktop 
distributions) can leave it off.

Then, once the Android test suite is fixed, the Kconfig can be removed. 
Looking at the Android release cadence in recent years, and the timeline 
of DS4 support in hid-playstation and in the v6.6 LTS kernel, I presume 
this would be in 1-2 years.

This way, upstream can continue improving the driver, without triggering 
Android test failures.


How does this sound?
