Could you please try the patch below and see if it works for your use
case? Note that I have not tried running it, but it compiles so it must
be good ;)
Thanks!
Input: add support for polling to input devices
From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torok...@gmail.com>
Separating "normal" and "polled" input devices was a mistake, as often we want
to allow the very same device work on both interrupt-driven and polled mode,
depending on the board on which the device is used.
This introduces new APIs:
- input_setup_polling
- input_set_poll_interval
- input_set_min_poll_interval
- input_set_max_poll_interval
These new APIs allow switching an input device into polled mode with sysfs
attributes matching drivers using input_polled_dev APIs that will be eventually
removed.
