From: Chase Douglas <chase.douglas@xxxxxxxxxx> The driver listens only for raw events from the device. If we allow the hidinput layer to initialize, we can hit NULL pointer dereferences in the hidinput layer because disconnecting only removes the input devices from the hid device while leaving the hid fields around.
