Wacom driver uses devm_input_allocate_device(), so unregister should
happen automatically on device removal once we exit wacom_probe().

Unregistering the input device should result in calling wacom_close()
(if device was previously opened), which, as far as I can tell, calls
hid_hw_close().
I wonder if it is valid to call hid_hw_stop() before hid_hw_close()?
It could be that we again get confused by the "easiness" of devm APIs
and completely screwing up unwind order.
Thanks.
