  74 * UI_DEV_SETUP - Set device parameters for setup
  75 *
  76 * This ioctl sets parameters for the input device to be created.  It
  77 * supersedes the old "struct uinput_user_dev" method, which wrote this data
  78 * via write(). To actually set the absolute axes UI_ABS_SETUP should be
  79 * used.
  80 *
  81 * The ioctl takes a "struct uinput_setup" object as argument. The fields of
  82 * this object are as follows:
  83 *              id: See the description of "struct input_id". This field is
  84 *                  copied unchanged into the new device.
  85 *            name: This is used unchanged as name for the new device.
  86 *  ff_effects_max: This limits the maximum numbers of force-feedback effects.
  87 *                  See below for a description of FF with uinput.
  88 *
  89 * This ioctl can be called multiple times and will overwrite previous values.
  90 * If this ioctl fails with -EINVAL, it is recommended to use the old
  91 * "uinput_user_dev" method via write() as a fallback, in case you run on an
  92 * old kernel that does not support this ioctl.
  93 *
  94 * This ioctl may fail with -EINVAL if it is not supported or if you passed
  95 * incorrect values, -ENOMEM if the kernel runs out of memory or -EFAULT if the
  96 * passed uinput_setup object cannot be read/written.
  97 * If this call fails, partial data may have already been applied to the
  98 * internal device.

 173 * To write a force-feedback-capable driver, the upload_effect
 174 * and erase_effect callbacks in input_dev must be implemented.
 175 * The uinput driver will generate a fake input event when one of
 176 * these callbacks are invoked. The userspace code then uses
 177 * ioctls to retrieve additional parameters and send the return code.
 178 * The callback blocks until this return code is sent.

 184 *   1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_UPLOAD.
 185 *      A request ID will be given in 'value'.
 186 *   2. Allocate a uinput_ff_upload struct, fill in request_id with
 187 *      the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
 188 *   3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, giving it the
 189 *      uinput_ff_upload struct. It will be filled in with the
 190 *      ff_effects passed to upload_effect().
 191 *   4. Perform the effect upload, and place a return code back into
 192        the uinput_ff_upload struct.
 193 *   5. Issue a UI_END_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, also giving it the
 194 *      uinput_ff_upload_effect struct. This will complete execution
 195 *      of our upload_effect() handler.

 198 *   1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_ERASE.
 199 *      A request ID will be given in 'value'.
 200 *   2. Allocate a uinput_ff_erase struct, fill in request_id with
 201 *      the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
 202 *   3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_ERASE ioctl, giving it the
 203 *      uinput_ff_erase struct. It will be filled in with the
