HID: don't ignore eGalax/D-Wav/EETI HIDs
Certain devices with class HID, protocol None did not work with the HID driver at one point, and as a result were bound to usbtouchscreen instead as of commit 139ebe8 ("Input: usbtouchscreen - fix eGalax HID ignoring"). This change was prompted by the following report: https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/25/127 Unfortunately, the device mentioned in this report is no longer available for testing. We've recently discovered that some devices with class HID, protocol None do not work with usbtouchscreen, but do work with usbhid. Here is the report that made this evident: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/31710 Driver binding for these devices has flip-flopped a few times, so both of the above reports were regressions. This situation would appear to leave us with no easy way to bind every device to the right driver. However, in my own testing with several devices I have not found a device with class HID that does not work with the current HID driver. It is my belief that changes to the HID driver since the original report have likely fixed the issue(s) that made it unsuitable at the time, and that we should prefer it over usbtouchscreen for these devices. In particular, HID quirks affecting these devices were added/removed in the following commits since then: fe6065d HID: add multi-input quirk for eGalax Touchcontroller 77933c3 Merge branch 'egalax' into for-linus ebd11fe HID: Add quirk for eGalax touch controler. d34c4aa HID: add no-get quirk for eGalax touch controller This patch makes the HID driver no longer ignore eGalax/D-Wav/EETI devices with class HID. If there are in fact devices with class HID that still do not work with the HID driver, we will see another round of regressions. In that case I propose we investigate why the device is not working with the HID driver rather than re-introduce regressions for functioning HID devices by again binding them to usbtouchscreen. The corresponding change to usbtouchscreen will be made separately. Signed-off-by: Forest Bond <forest.bond@rapidrollout.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
