Some newer Intel Skylake based Dell laptops with Win8 precision touchpad
fail when initial feature reports are fetched from it. Below is an example

We manage to fetch few reports but then the touchpad dies:

 i2c_designware i2c_designware.1: i2c_dw_handle_tx_abort: lost arbitration
 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: failed to retrieve report from device.

it eventually pulls the whole I2C bus low:

 i2c_designware i2c_designware.1: controller timed out
 i2c_hid i2c-DLL0704:01: failed to set a report to device.

Fix this by preventing initial feature report retrieval for Win8 devices.
Instead we fetch reports as needed in mt_feature_mapping(). This prevents
fetching reports which might cause problems with the device in question.

Added check for MT_CLS_WIN_8 so that the fix is only done for real Win8
devices.

This is now in hid.git#for-4.4/multitouch. Thanks everybody,
