Without the mouse ignore quirk, HID will find the "normal" usb mouse 
interface. The current situation is much worse than to throw the bcm5974 
patches in untested. And this is not even the case; the updated driver 
has been in use as a dkms package for almost a month.

Therefore my memory must have been wrong -- I thought that you told me 
when I was merging f89bd95c5c that the devices are not standard HID 
devices at all, and therefore they can be safely ignored by the driver 
right away, as they can't be driven by HID driver anyway.

These usb devices provide several different functions through the same
interface. By default, it looks like a regular mouse interface, which
HID will claim. This is why we need the quirks.

If this is not the case, I'll then revert the hid_mouse_ignore_list[] 
addition peformed in a96d6ef34 and will push it for 2.6.29, so that it 
goes in together with bcm5974 driver modifications.

Yes, I think that is best.

Thanks and sorry if I messed this up,

No harm done. :-)

Thanks,
