From 6da7066906e977d42104a859c490f5f9a300488c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:15:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] HID: ignore absolute values which don't fit between logical min and max MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Linux should ignore values outside logical min/max range, as they are not meaningful. This is what at least some of other OSes do, and it also makes sense (currently the value gets misinterpreted larger up the stack).
