I wrote the first linux hwmon driver for a composite USB HID device. I tried to justify why it had to not return errors on the other HID interfaces (because they would then not probe the generic HID driver). The hwmon subsystem maintainer only had a misinformed, dismissive rant as a reply. I am not contributing to this subsystem!
@soller I'll admit, when I saw your original PR and his comments I thought that was a pretty normal review but this one is wild. Never going to accept it because it's not the way everything else has been done sure is a response.
@soller I've been working in IT for over 30 years, I would say a few things, please keep in mind that IT people are not the best at communicating in the best of cases, add the fact that English is not their mother-tongue plus a sprinkle of cultural differences, and you can get easy upsets. I'm the manager of international team and I see it all the time. Please give people a chance before jumping to conclusions 🙏
