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

 117 *                  (ABS_X, ABS_Y, etc...)

 120 *                  specified axis. If the axis is not enabled via

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

 180 * is set.

 182 * To implement upload_effect():
 183 *   1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_UPLOAD.
 184 *      A request ID will be given in 'value'.
 185 *   2. Allocate a uinput_ff_upload struct, fill in request_id with
 186 *      the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
 187 *   3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, giving it the
 188 *      uinput_ff_upload struct. It will be filled in with the
 189 *      ff_effects passed to upload_effect().
 190 *   4. Perform the effect upload, and place a return code back into
 191        the uinput_ff_upload struct.
 192 *   5. Issue a UI_END_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, also giving it the
 193 *      uinput_ff_upload_effect struct. This will complete execution
 194 *      of our upload_effect() handler.
 195 *
 196 * To implement erase_effect():
 197 *   1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_ERASE.
 198 *      A request ID will be given in 'value'.
 199 *   2. Allocate a uinput_ff_erase struct, fill in request_id with
 200 *      the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
 201 *   3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_ERASE ioctl, giving it the
 202 *      uinput_ff_erase struct. It will be filled in with the
 203 *      effect ID passed to erase_effect().
 204 *   4. Perform the effect erasure, and place a return code back
 205 *      into the uinput_ff_erase struct.
