[PATCH 1/7] Revert "HID: input: simplify/fix high-res scroll event handling"

From: Benjamin Tissoires <hidden>
Date: 2018-11-21 15:27:29
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: hid core layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Linus Torvalds

This reverts commit 044ee890286153a1aefb40cb8b6659921aecb38b.

It turns out the current API is not that compatible with
some Microsoft mice, so better start again from scratch.
