By default the G1-G12 keys on the Logitech gaming keyboards send
F1 - F12 when in "generic HID" mode.
The first thing the hid-lg-g15 driver does is disable this behavior.
We have received a bugreport that this does not work when the keyboard
is connected through an Aten KVM switch. Using a gaming keyboard with
a KVM is a bit weird setup, but still we can try to fail a bit more
gracefully here.
On the G510 keyboards the same USB-interface which is used for the gaming
keys is also used for the media-keys. Before this commit we would call
hid_hw_stop() on failure to disable the F# emulation and then exit the
probe method with an error code.
This not only causes us to not handle the gaming-keys, but this also
breaks the media keys which is a regression compared to the situation
when these keyboards where handled by the generic hidinput driver.
This commit changes the error handling to clear the hiddev drvdata
(to disable our .raw_event handler) and then returning from the probe
method with success.
The net result of this is that, when connected through a KVM, things
work as well as they did before the hid-lg-g15 driver was introduced.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
