My understanding is that 'vivaldi' is mostly a keyboard layout and
'hammer' is a detachable keyboard. We want to prevent the hid-vivaldi
driver from probing this particular device because the hid-vivaldi
driver doesn't know about detachable keyboards. Hammer devices also
support 360 degree wraparound so we know that the keyboard has been put
behind the screen or that it's being used to stand up the device on a
table.

Given all that, I'm still confused. If we make the hid-google-hammer
driver probe this device and the keyboard layout is vivaldi then we'd
want the part of the vivaldi driver that exposes the
function_row_physmap through sysfs. Otherwise userspace won't know how
to handle the function row properly. I think we need the device to stack
two drivers here. Does that happen with HID?
