I have no clue if this is according to spec or not. I only know that this
change makes two users' N-Trig devices work properly in the above bug.

I remember writing this patch as a test, but I never checked the side
effects. Jiri, perhaps you can enlighten us all on this matter?

Jiri queued this for 3.4, but in the meantime it's queued for the next
Ubuntu 11.10 kernel update. I'll be sure to relay any issues we find
back here.
