Right. In this first attempt, I tried to change "wacom_" by the actual
name of the tablet. I would thought it was OK because no one will ever
try to plug the same model twice. I was wrong, and a counter seem to be
the solution for that. I'll address that in the v2.

Also note that the bug is both in the current USB driver (wacom.ko) and
the bluetooth one (hid-wacom.ko). Merging these two drivers will prevent
us to have to do this fix twice :)

Just as a head up, I will not be able to work on this patch series
before Thursday (I mean testing with actual hardware). I'd be happy if
we can manage to push that in 3.17, but this will mostly depend if
Dmitry is fine with the USB-to-HID conversion of the wacom.ko driver.

Cheers,
Benjamin
