Again, sorry for the lag on this series. I think now that I re-read
this one I understood why I did not put too many efforts to properly
review the series. This one is a little bit worrisome IMO.

I don't like this. We already have a blacklist, an ignore list, and
there, we will have a new blacklist...

I understood why you put this here, the current have_special_driver
list will not fit 100%. Still, I find it not good.

It works, but I think we should still head for an entry in
have_special_driver, and a specific behavior in hid-rmi which would
rely on hid-input to handle the keyboard/mouse buttons and the rest.

this seems a little bit magical. There may not be an other solution,
but I would prefer that we look at alternatives before using this
magical numbers (will the touchpad always use the same report
descriptor on the mouse interface?)
