SubjectRe: [RFC] HID:hid-lg4ff: Delay to allow wheels to center after plug-in
Date
Hi all,

maybe instead of stalling the entire init() function it'd be better to put a
request to disable autocentering on a workqueue and start a delayed work once
the init() function is done setting the wheel up? There'd be a bit more code
to write though...
