✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void hid_device_io_start (struct hid_device *hid );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hid — the device. that’s the whole note, bestie 🫶 no extra lore.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the way this works is very specific: this should only be called during probe or remove, and only by the thread calling probe or remove. no cap. It will allow incoming packets to be delivered to the driver.

⚠️ bestie, this is not a “call it whenever” situation — probe/remove only, same thread, periodt. 💀
