[PATCH] HID: rmi: do not handle touchscreens through hid-rmi

[Benjamin Tissoires]

Currently, hid-rmi drives every Synaptics product, but the touchscreens
on the Windows tablets should be handled through hid-multitouch.

Instead of providing a long list of PIDs, rely on the scan_report
capability to detect which should go to hid-multitouch, and which
should not go to hid-rmi.

We introduce a generic HID_GROUP_HAVE_SPECIAL_DRIVER which can be reused
amoung other drivers if they want to have a catch rule but still
have multitouch devices handled through hid-multitouch.

Hi Jiri,

well, this is the patch we are going to carry in Fedora as we are already
carrying hid-rmi.
Still, I am not 100% happy with it, especially the HID_GROUP_HAVE_SPECIAL_DRIVER
thing.

I would also say we should re-think the way the scanning is called in
hid_add_device because I am starting using more and more the scanning capability
to decide if the device should be handled by generic, a special driver or simply
ignored.

Anyway, this could be decided later. If you prefer me to use a hid-rmi specific
group like HID_GROUP_RMI instead of HID_GROUP_HAVE_SPECIAL_DRIVER, I can also
update the patch.

Cheers,
Benjamin
