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.

That I fully understand. But I though that the device is so much HID 
standard non-compliant, that even basic functionality is not possible with 
the generic HID driver, and therefore blacklisting it immediately can't do 
any harm. That's what I understood previously. But if this is wrong, and 
the HID code can get at least basic functionality from the device, I will 
revert the blacklist addition.

Thanks,
