Yes, no, maybe :)

that was my first approach. But then I switched to "if
(wacom->shared)" to actually remember the hackers that wacom->shared
is not always valid and that we should not assume it is.
I don't have any preference except that this needs to be fixed in 4.0 final.

Jiri, do you prefer that I resend the patch? or do you amend it? or do
you keep my first version?

Cheers,
Benjamin
