[Line6linux-devel] CONFIG_LINE6_USB_RAW

[Stefan H. <ste...@gm...>]

The purpose of CONFIG_LINE6_USB_RAW is not clear to me:

          Say Y here to create special files which allow to send raw data
          to the device. This bypasses any sanity checks, so if you discover
          the code to erase the firmware, feel free to render your device
          useless, but only after reading the GPL section "NO WARRANTY"

In practice the only sanity checks we seem to bypass are the transfer
mask (which MIDI channel to transmit on).

If this is the only difference then I think we should drop this sysfs
attribute.  Users can set midi_mask_transmit to 0xf if they want "raw"
access.

Did I miss something?
