After some inspection of the Windows iMON driver, several additional
device IDs were added to the lirc_imon driver. At least a few of these
have been seen in the wild, and require manual quirking to keep the
usbhid driver from binding to them. Rather than list out every single
device, ignore the entire device ID range, 0x0034 - 0x0046. Some of
these may not advertise themselves as HID devices, but no harm done to
such devices anyway. Does the right thing in brief testing w/my 0x0045
device.

I'm not sure this is a good idea. I have a 0x0038 device and I'm
developing a proper HID driver for it. If and when I'll submit it for
kernel inclusion, this kind of ID range blacklisting may get ugly.

Erm, there's already a full driver for it though, and its already in
the ignore list...

Also, out of curiosity, what does a "proper HID driver for it" look
like and/or do that the latest lirc_imon doesn't? We're already doing
input layer stuff with the mouse mode and mouse buttons, and looking to
further extend that, potentially making the driver pure input layer,
but still usable with the lirc devinput userspace driver.
