NAME

       input_register_device - register device with input core

SYNOPSIS

       int input_register_device(struct input_dev * dev);

ARGUMENTS

       dev
	   device to be registered

DESCRIPTION

       This function registers device with input core. The device must be allocated with input_allocate_device and all it's capabilities set up
       before registering. If function fails the device must be freed with input_free_device. Once device has been successfully registered it can
       be unregistered with input_unregister_device; input_free_device should not be called in this case.

       Note that this function is also used to register managed input devices (ones allocated with devm_input_allocate_device). Such managed input
       devices need not be explicitly unregistered or freed, their tear down is controlled by the devres infrastructure. It is also worth noting
       that tear down of managed input devices is internally a 2-step process: registered managed input device is first unregistered, but stays in
       memory and can still handle input_event calls (although events will not be delivered anywhere). The freeing of managed input device will
       happen later, when devres stack is unwound to the point where device allocation was made.

NAME

       struct_input_polled_dev - simple polled input device

SYNOPSIS

       struct input_polled_dev {
	 void * private;
	 void (* open) (struct input_polled_dev *dev);
	 void (* close) (struct input_polled_dev *dev);
	 void (* poll) (struct input_polled_dev *dev);
	 unsigned int poll_interval;
	 unsigned int poll_interval_max;
	 unsigned int poll_interval_min;
	 struct input_dev * input;
       };

MEMBERS

       private
	   private driver data.

       open
	   driver-supplied method that prepares device for polling (enabled the device and maybe flushes device state).

       close
	   driver-supplied method that is called when device is no longer being polled. Used to put device into low power mode.

       poll
	   driver-supplied method that polls the device and posts input events (mandatory).

       poll_interval
	   specifies how often the poll method should be called. Defaults to 500 msec unless overriden when registering the device.

       poll_interval_max
	   specifies upper bound for the poll interval. Defaults to the initial value of poll_interval.

       poll_interval_min
	   specifies lower bound for the poll interval. Defaults to 0.

       input
	   input device structire associated with the polled device. Must be properly initialized by the driver (id, name, phys, bits).

DESCRIPTION

       Polled input device provides a skeleton for supporting simple input devices that do not raise interrupts but have to be periodically
       scanned or polled to detect changes in their state.
