The following Smatch complaint was generated in response to commit

drivers/hid/wacom_wac.c:1586 wacom_tpc_irq()
error: we previously assumed 'wacom->touch_input' could be null (see line 1577)
The 'touch_input' and 'pen_input' variables point to the 'struct input_dev'
used for relaying touch and pen events to userspace, respectively. If a
device does not have a touch interface or pen interface, the associated
input variable is NULL. The 'wacom_tpc_irq()' function is responsible for
forwarding input reports to a more-specific IRQ handler function. An
unknown report could theoretically be mistaken as e.g. a touch report
on a device which does not have a touch interface. This can be prevented
by only calling the pen/touch functions are called when the pen/touch
pointers are valid.
