I run into this today while trying to improve the generic support of 
the ISDv4 sensors (those found on laptops not sold by Wacom). This 
is a regression from 3.16, in a sense that it can add up to 10 
seconds to the boot of the laptop. So IMO, this should go as a fix 
for 3.17-rc6.

Unfortunately, c64d883476 changed the ABI and wacom_get_report() takes now one
less argument. I based my patch on top of the for-3.18/wacom branch, so in 3.17,
it will not compile.
I would personally be in favor of having c64d883476 and this one in 3.17, but
c64d883476 will also require some manual conflict resolution (cherry-pick is
complaining).
I can also resend it based on the v3.17-rc5 tag, but then we will have to update
the for-3.18/wacom when you will merge with Linus' tree.

Hi Benjamin,

c64d883476 is not really a rc7 material, so I'd not like to be 
cherry-picking it for this.

My take on this would actually be to apply to for-3.18/wacom, mark it for 
stable, and then make sure that c64d883476 makes it to the first 
3.17-stable.

What do you think?

Fine by me. It will be easier to include the follow up patches this way.

Ok, applied to for-3.18/wacom, annotated for stable (and made a note about 
the need of cherry-picking pre-requisite commit c64d883476) and pushed 
out.

Thanks,
