This adds support for the THQ uDraw tablet for the PS3, as
4 separate device nodes, so that user-space can easily consume
events coming from the hardware.

Note that the touchpad two-finger support is fairly unreliable,
and a right-click can only be achieved with a two-finger tap
with the two fingers slightly apart (about 1cm should be enough).

Hi Bastien,

overall the driver looks ok to me, thanks. Probably the only concern
I'd 
have -- traditionally, we've always been naming drivers by the
vendor, as 
it turned out that over time they get extended by adding support for 
multiple devices with the same vendor, and usually there is quite
some 
overlap in shared code.
In that particular case, I'd rather it got renamed to "hid-udraw-ps3"
in this case. The XBox 360 and Wii versions use completely different
protocols:

The XBox 360 version is more likely to be integrated in with other XBox
pads, and the Wii version along with other Wii Bluetooth remotes.
Hence I'd propose to call this driver hid-thq (if that's really the 
vendor's proper name, doesn't seem to be present in latest usb.ids 
release).
THQ went under in 2012, as a result of making too many of those drawing
tablets:

I'm fine with it either way. Just let me know which one you prefer.

Cheers
