Exactly. The device probably doesn't provide any applications that would 
pass through IS_INPUT_APPLICATION() macro (see include/linux/hid.h).

We might well be extending this definition, as it is quite outdated (and 
doesn't for example deal with new digitizers very well).

Report descriptor dump would absolutely be necessary (i.e. compiling the 
kernel with CONFIG_HID_DEBUG and modprobing the 'hid' module with 
'debug=2' parameter).
