No, this touchpad doesn't have HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS set and 
usbhid/hid-core.c is calling usbhid_init_reports() which is retrieving 
feature 8. But, I did some additional testing and I wasn't able to 
reproduce this issue on other systems. The failure occurs on a Dell XPS 
13 9343, but the exact same touchpad and the exact same kernel (I booted 
both systems off an external HD to ensure that the kernel and OS are 
identical) I didn't see a problem. I also tried a different USB PTP 
touchpad which didn't have an issue. Also, I tried returning in 
mt_get_feature() instead of reading the report when the report id is 8. 
When I did that everything worked.

So as of right now, it looks like a single non production USB PTP 
touchpad fails on one particular system. But, all other tests have been 
successful.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions for me to test. But, it 
seems like this failure might be fairly isolated.
