[PATCH] uinput: Allow for 0/0 min/max on absolute axes.

[Peter Hutterer]

Some devices provide absolute axes with min/max of 0/0 (e.g. wacom's
ABS_MISC axis). Current uinput restrictions do not allow duplication of
these devices and require hacks in userspace to work around this.

If the kernel accepts physical devices with a min/max of 0/0, uinput
shouldn't disallow the same range.
