thank you for the work! i have tested, the driver compiles with the 4.12.4 kernel. however i don't have a device, so i would like to ask if the driver works with Novation Launchpad MK2 version of the controller. I have been written a comment on the blog, but probably it got screened by the antispam system, and I did not find any email address or other way to contact you. Thank you.
