I'm afraid this does not work:
- calling it before the individual fields is not possible unless more
intrusive changes to hid-core:
* "hid_input_field" does the actual parsing of the input report, so
without the call the .value field is still set to the previous one
(not very useful then)
* the "hid_input_field" requires to know the previous report, due to
Array type reports which send the current keys down, and not the
release.
- the raw_event() callback contains the report _unparsed_, which means
that it's up to the hid specific driver to split the fields depending
on the report descriptor (for instance, get the right bit for
tipswitch in a byte containing tipswitch, inrange, confidence,
contactId).
- the raw_event() mechanism was the one in place in the v1 of the
patch series, in which the new callback was asked.

Cheers,
Benjamin
