.. and maybe we should do this same thing for the WACOM case a couple
of lines up from your patch?

Well, that's far more questionable. I am pretty sure Wacom devices are
completely dysfunctional without a specific driver, as they have their own
protocol.

Ah, ok. Never mind then.

Well, Wacom devices use to need a special driver, but the latest
generation should somewhat be able to work without a driver (IIRC).
The only thing I can think of is that Wacom devices require
HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS, so they might not work out of the box after
all.

Let's see what Ping and Jason think about the question.
