[PATCH 0/2] Fix spurious joydev node on some unrelated devices

Hi,

It looks like Steam is suffering from having spurious joydev nodes not
properly handled by the kernel. This appears on nearly all Microsoft devices
and all Wacom tablets (though I guess the interference between Wacom tablet
and Steam is not much of a problem :-P ).

Anyway, this should fix a long standing issue (since 2011 apparently).

It's still unclear whether this will fix all the spurious joydev nodes for
other vendors too (A4Tech mice notably).

Cheers,
Benjamin
