Subject[PATCH 3.14 028/140] HID: core: do not scan constant input report
Date
3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@redhat.com>

commit e24d0d399b2fce71b627043e900ef28283850482 upstream.

The Microsoft Surface Type/Touch Cover 2 is a fancy device which advertised
itself as a multitouch device but with constant input reports.
This way, hid_scan_report() gives the group MULTITOUCH to it, but
hid-multitouch can not handle it due to the constant collection ignored
by hid-input.

To prevent such crap in the future, and while we do not fix this particular
device, make the scan_report coherent with hid-input.c, and ignore constant
input reports.
