I do not understand why this is needed, as sparse keymap should issue
sync for you. From sparse_keymap_report_entry():

	case KE_SW:
		value = ke->sw.value;
		/* fall through */

	case KE_VSW:
		input_report_switch(dev, ke->sw.code, value);
		input_sync(dev);

		^^^^^^^^^- here is the sync.

		break;
	}
}

Do you want to set the capability if you do not get 'obj' or it is of
different type?

Can be shorter:

			input_report_switch(priv->input_dev, SW_TABLET_MODE,
					obj->integer.value & TABLET_MODE_FLAG);

You also need:

			input_sync(priv->input_dev);

Thanks.
