+ * The ioctl takes a "struct uinput_setup" object as argument. The fields of

+ * 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

+ * To write a force-feedback-capable driver, the upload_effect

+ * 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

+ * 1. Wait for an event with type == EV_UINPUT and code == UI_FF_ERASE.
+ * A request ID will be given in 'value'.
