Regarding the ongoing work for a kernel patch which supports (all?) the missing items to achieve full control of the RK USB interface, I'm wandering...:
- It's rather unlikly that the patch be accepted, given the amount of code to be included in the general usb_storage module and the small community of interested people. - If the patch doesn't go into the official kernels, it is rather unlikely that interested users will take the effort of patching their kernels to get the added functionalities. - On the other hand, we know that all the missing features can be fully implemented in user-space: in fact, karma_helper and send_cmd do it all. - However, root privileges are needed, which makes it questionable to include the required code into libkarma. So, why not just convert karma_helper into a "rkd" daemon? This way, libkarma (and friends) could check whether the daemon is running and, if yes, ask it the needed services such as un/binding, un/mounting, date/time setting, get disk and sensor info, etc. Otherwise, just proceed as usual with the current functionalities. I think converting karma_helper/send_cmd into a "rkd" is just one day work worth or less (and I am ready to start working on it ;). What do you think?
