CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV option for nanopi-r4s kernel (possibly others)

[dolphs]

Hello,

 

I would like to propose a change to the default kernel config for the r4s.

 

Currently in .config

#
# USB HID support
#
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_HID_PID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y

 

This should be altered to 

CONFIG_USB_HID=m 
 

This change has been requested previously for other boards: here and is also explained properly.

To summarise : the change would allow those using APCUPSD to communicate with their APC UPS device.

 

TiA!

Please submit a PR, and this can be discussed there.

hmm once cable is attached it does report FTDI USB Serial Device converter is attached,

however apcupsd does not want to comm. with my APC Back-UPS 650, so either Modular or compiled in does not resolve my issue.

This is due to wrong cable being used: moin moin moin ( p1mon ) : duh

therefore this topic can be removed as I will find proper AP9827 cable first...
