Hi, thanks. Adding Alan Wu to CC, who sent me a slightly different patch for this issue -- see the archives of linux-input list from a few days back. Your patch is missing at least Signed-off-by: line, and also seems to lack the update to hid_have_special_driver[]. Could you two guys please cooperate and send me a patch that should be applied? I don't have the device so can't really test properly myself.
