Update on this. I made a minor refactor today to fix some edge cases
where it was obvious the mutex was not guarding stuff and ended up
locking during unregistering in this series. So skip testing it.

I'll send the fixed version tomorrow, in the meantime you can find it
here [1]. Fixes were very minor, moving the mutexes around in 2
places, so feel free to comment on this series.

Also, the init delay seems to not have worked for the mouse touchpad
bug. Seems like 5 reboots were not enough testing. I will say it is
peculiar that hid-generic works properly, when this series makes
hid-asus mimic it very closely. Also, one rmmod to hid-asus fixes
this, regardless of how many times hid-asus is reloaded afterwards.
