I have the short-term memory of a squirrel, if someone can't see in the
patch itself why it is working correctly, you haven't convinced anyone
:)

Please be descriptive in the changelog about _why_ you are doing
something, so that everyone understands, not the least being yourself in
8 years when you get a bug report asking why you did something in a
specific commit (a real example of what happened to me earlier today.)

We relocated a devdata_put() in "[PATCH v2 1/7]" at the recommendation
of Dan Carpenter.  I guess I was mistaken that I had convinced you in our
previous email discussion about the need for the lock.  :-(

You changed nothing based on the previous discussion, not exactly a good
way to get a patch series accepted :(

Please split out the bugfix so that I can take that now, and make the
other changes as requested before resending.

This patch series fixes visorinput to remove the dependency on FB and
add dependency to INPUT, cleans up some formatting issues found with
checkpatch.pl, and adds the capability to change screen resolutions
without breaking mouse functionality.

This is a resubmission of the series.

struct
  staging: unisys: visorinput: remove need for 'depends on FB'
  staging: unisys: visorinput: ensure proper locking wrt creation & ints
  staging: unisys: visorinput: respond to resolution changes on-the-fly
  staging: unisys: visorinput: sanity check resolution changes
  staging: unisys: visorinput: add useful dev_dbg() and dev_info()
messages
  staging: unisys: visorinput: add INPUT to dependent driver list
