From Linus Torvalds <> Date Sat, 27 Oct 2018 11:13:17 -0700 Subject Another HID problem this merge window.. Ok, so this is a much smaller issue than the i2c one that cause boot

problems, but it's annoying.



We do *not* enable new random drivers by default. And we most

*definitely* don't do it when they are odd-ball ones that most people

have never heard of.



Yet the new "BigBen Interactive" driver that was added this merge

window did exactly that.



Just don't do it.



Yes, yes, every developer always thinks that _their_ driver is so

special and so magically important that it should be enabled by

default. But no. When we have thousands of drivers, we don't randomly

pick one new driver to be enabled by default just because some

developer thinks it is special. It's not.



So the



default !EXPERT



was completely wrong in commit 256a90ed9e46 ("HID: hid-bigbenff:

driver for BigBen Interactive PS3OFMINIPAD gamepad"). Please don't do

things like this.



Linus
