[PATCH] HID: vivaldi: avoid redundant feature report reads per usage
From: Zhengping Jiang
Date: Mon Oct 12 2026 - 17:29:31 EST
vivaldi_feature_mapping() is invoked by hidinput_configure_usages() in
ascending usage_index order for each usage in the top-row physical keymap
field. Because fetching the feature report at usage_index == 0 already
reads the entire report from hardware and populates field->value[] for all
usages in the field, calling hid_hw_raw_request() again for subsequent
usages redundantly reads the same report N times (e.g., 12 sequential BLE
GATT reads taking ~2s on Vivaldi BLE keyboards).
Only fetch the feature report from hardware on the first usage
(usage->usage_index == 0) and reuse field->value[usage->usage_index] for
subsequent usages in the field.
Fixes: 33bbe04a15f2 ("HID: google: extract Vivaldi hid feature mapping for use in hid-hammer")
