Yes, I am aware of bcm5974 being dependent in HID driver not claiming 
the mouse interface on this hardware.
Dmitry, what are your plans with this bcm5974 patch? 2.6.28 or 2.6.29?

2.6.29 - the driver is in use so I did nto want to touch it after .28 
merge window closed. 

I see. I have already pushed the bits that ignore the mouse interface on 
the hardware in question in HID code. But that should be perfectly fine, 
as as the HID driver can't do anything with that mouse anyway.

Also I am moving to the west coast so swamped anyways but I hope I will 
be somewhat settled after December 8th.
Btw, if you see something that you think needs to go into .28 for
input could please merge it for me? I also going to ask Linus to pull
from my for-linus branch in the next couple of days.

Sure, no problem, I will keep an eye on incoming input patches before you 
are fully settled again, and if anything new urgent comes, I will merge it 
for .28.
