[PATCH 00/19] Input driver API rework and cleanup

[Peter Hutterer]

As I have mentioned in the past, the input driver API is in need of a
cleanup. For those easily amused, I recommend going through the input device
addition process where one can find gimmicks such as the DIX calling the DDX
which calls the driver to call back into the DDX to allocate a struct then
handed to the driver to be used by the DIX. Or so, sometimes I get confused
figuring this out in detail.

This set of patches provides some of this cleanup, including a new input
API. [PATCH 02/19] "xfree86: rework driver PreInit API - XInput ABI 12" is
the main one to look at here, the rest is just throwing out unnecessary
stuff.

All input drivers will need adjusting to this new API though the impact is
relatively small, wacom will likely be the one most affected by it.

I've ported evdev and synaptics already, the main evdev patch can be seen
here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~whot/xf86-input-evdev/commit/?id=92e8dc49611398c8a9659b244645530cd26736fe
Most notably, the effort required to support in-driver hotplugging is now
much less (patches for that separately).

Obviously, this work is aimed for server 1.10. It's available on the
input-api branch in my personal repo, same for the evdev patches.

Cheers,
  Peter
