Event API changes - EVIOCGID

[Brad H. <bh...@bi...>]

G'day,

The attached patch basically implements:
+struct input_devinfo {
+       uint16_t bustype;
+       uint16_t vendor;
+       uint16_t product;
+       uint16_t version;
+};
+

-#define EVIOCGID               _IOR('E', 0x02, short[4])               /* get device ID */
+#define EVIOCGID               _IOR('E', 0x02, struct input_devinfo)   /* get device ID */

It affects just about every input driver, as a result of some associated
cleanups that I applied, and its about 40K uncompressed - hence the gzip.

Is there anything that would stop this being applied?

Also, I note that some drivers don't set all the id values (before or after 
patch). Is there any reason for this?

Brad
