+ * To write a force-feedback-capable driver, the upload_effect
+ * and erase_effect callbacks in input_dev must be implemented.
+ * The uinput driver will generate a fake input event when one of
+ * these callbacks are invoked. The userspace code then uses
+ * ioctls to retrieve additional parameters and send the return code.
+ * The callback blocks until this return code is sent.
+ *
+ * The described callback mechanism is only used if ff_effects_max
+ * is set.
+ *
+ * To implement upload_effect():
+ * 1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_UPLOAD.
+ * A request ID will be given in 'value'.
+ * 2. Allocate a uinput_ff_upload struct, fill in request_id with
+ * the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
+ * 3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, giving it the
+ * uinput_ff_upload struct. It will be filled in with the
+ * ff_effects passed to upload_effect().
+ * 4. Perform the effect upload, and place a return code back into
+ the uinput_ff_upload struct.
+ * 5. Issue a UI_END_FF_UPLOAD ioctl, also giving it the
+ * uinput_ff_upload_effect struct. This will complete execution
+ * of our upload_effect() handler.
+ *
+ * To implement erase_effect():
+ * 1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_ERASE.
+ * A request ID will be given in 'value'.
+ * 2. Allocate a uinput_ff_erase struct, fill in request_id with
+ * the 'value' from the EV_UINPUT event.
+ * 3. Issue a UI_BEGIN_FF_ERASE ioctl, giving it the
+ * uinput_ff_erase struct. It will be filled in with the
+ * effect ID passed to erase_effect().
+ * 4. Perform the effect erasure, and place a return code back
+ * into the uinput_ff_erase struct.
+ * 5. Issue a UI_END_FF_ERASE ioctl, also giving it the
