Stefan Achatz 0b3fa399be HID: roccat: remove obsolete kone_abi_version sysfs attribute
The newest version of the accompanying userland tools cuts backward
compatibility and uses libudev to find its devices superseding the
quirky kone_abi_version sysfs attribute. Therefore it should be removed.

Stefan Achatz 206f5f2fcb HID: roccat: propagate special events of roccat hardware to userspace
Module roccat is a char device used to report special events of roccat hardware
to userland. These events include requests for on-screen-display of profile or
dpi settings or requests for execution of macro sequences that are not stored
in device. The information in these events depends on hid device implementation
and contains data that is not available in a single hid event or else hidraw
could have been used.

It is inspired by hidraw, but uses only one circular buffer for all readers.
The device is as generic as possible so that the functionality is usable by all
(kone and upcomming) roccat device drivers.

Stefan Achatz 14bf62cde7 HID: add driver for Roccat Kone gaming mouse
This Patch adds support for Kone gaming mouse from Roccat.
It provides access to profiles, settings, firmware, weight,
actual settings etc. through sysfs attributes.
Event handling of this mouse differs from standard hid behaviour
in that tilt button press is reported in each move event which
results in strange behaviour if not handled by the driver.

This is a heavily reworked version of the previously introduced driver.
The changes include most of the previously raised concerns,
memory leak and other fixes, code cleanups, adoption of additional
achieved knowlege about the hardware and is (IMHO) a much better version
than before even when I exchanged reduced USB-IO with a bigger memory
consumption.

I refused to implement one mentioned point:
Removing the 'just-because-we-can' attributes. Motivation:
Reading the clipped in weight: I'm no gamer and can't determine the
usefulness of this feature but if the manufacturer implements such a
feature it might make sense to someone and I would unwillingly limit the
functionality besides its such a small feature.
Reading the actual profile and dpi settings: Here I can testify that one
can get lost of the actual settings when switching back and forth.
The manufacturers windows driver has the ability for on-screen-display
of the values and there is a mouse in the market that has an lcd on the
underside of it to show these values. So I think this feature makes sense
not only for me and shouldn't be removed.
