Right, Robert.

I tested it and it works to solve the problem I reported.

As I mentioned, this is already fixed by
dc9b8e85ed95cbe7e3ad0eabb5b48d617bbc365e, scheduled for 4.19, and I
suggest that we instead add that one to 4.18.

The explanation is that the block you deleted was the whole reason for
adding the redragon_probe function, so the changes are largely
equivalent.

Thanks,

Robert
