Subject[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 037/218] HID: fix hid_ignore_special_drivers module parameter
Date
4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

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

commit 4392bf333388cabdad5afe5b1500002d7b9c318e upstream.

hid_ignore_special_drivers works fine until hid_scan_report autodetects and
reassign devices (for hid-multitouch, hid-microsoft and hid-rmi).

Simplify the handling of the parameter: if it is there, use hid-generic, no
matter what, and if not, scan the device or rely on the hid_have_special_driver
table.

This was detected while trying to disable hid-multitouch on a Surface Pro cover
which prevented to use the keyboard.
