/**
* UI_DEV_SETUP - Set device parameters for setup
*
* This ioctl sets parameters for the input device to be created. It
* supersedes the old "struct uinput_user_dev" method, which wrote this data
* via write(). To actually set the absolute axes UI_ABS_SETUP should be
* used.
*
* The ioctl takes a "struct uinput_setup" object as argument. The fields of
* this object are as follows:
* id: See the description of "struct input_id". This field is
* copied unchanged into the new device.
* name: This is used unchanged as name for the new device.
* ff_effects_max: This limits the maximum numbers of force-feedback effects.
* See below for a description of FF with uinput.
*
* This ioctl can be called multiple times and will overwrite previous values.
* If this ioctl fails with -EINVAL, it is recommended to use the old
* "uinput_user_dev" method via write() as a fallback, in case you run on an
* old kernel that does not support this ioctl.
*
* This ioctl may fail with -EINVAL if it is not supported or if you passed
* incorrect values, -ENOMEM if the kernel runs out of memory or -EFAULT if the
* passed uinput_setup object cannot be read/written.
* If this call fails, partial data may have already been applied to the
* internal device.

* part of this data and the content of UI_DEV_SETUP via write().
*
* The ioctl takes a "struct uinput_abs_setup" object as argument. The fields

/*
* 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
* uinput_ff_erase_effect struct. This will complete execution
* of our erase_effect() handler.
