Certain eGalax devices expose an interface with class HID and protocol
None.  Some work with usbhid and some work with usbtouchscreen, but
there is no easy way to differentiate.  Sending an eGalax diagnostic
packet seems to kick them all into using the right protocol for
usbtouchscreen, so we can continue to bind them all there (as opposed to
handing some off to usbhid).

This fixes a regression for devices that were claimed by (and worked
with) usbhid prior to commit 139ebe8dc80dd74cb2ac9f5603d18fbf5cff049f
("Input: usbtouchscreen - fix eGalax HID ignoring"), which made
usbtouchscreen claim them instead.  With this patch they will still be
claimed by usbtouchscreen, but they will actually report events
usbtouchscreen can understand.  Note that these devices will be limited
to the usbtouchscreen feature set so e.g. dual touch features are not
supported.

I have the distinct pleasure of needing to support devices of both types
and have tested accordingly.

Applied, thank you Forest.

Great, thanks a lot.

The other piece to this puzzle is that usbhid should blacklist these devices to
avoid binding if it happens to be loaded before usbtouchscreen.  To do this,
usbhid needs to be able to blacklist devices based on interface protocol (right
now it only supports blacklist on VID + PID).

Would you accept a patch set that implements this?

Thanks,
Forest
