From c061046fe9ce3ff31fb9a807144a2630ad349c17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aditya Garg gargaditya08@live.com Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2025 12:37:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] HID: apple: avoid setting up battery timer for devices without battery
Currently, the battery timer is set up for all devices using hid-apple, irrespective of whether they actually have a battery or not.
APPLE_RDESC_BATTERY is a quirk that indicates the device has a battery and needs the battery timer. This patch checks for this quirk before setting up the timer, ensuring that only devices with a battery will have the timer set up.
