The biggest problem with oVid/oPid is that they're kinda antithetical to
the HID_GENERIC codepath. If a device is split between two PIDs then
arbitration is broken for any kernel that doesn't include specific
support for the device.

I agree that heuristics aren't as confidence-inspiring as explicit
notation, but if they can be made to work well enough then I'd prefer
using them. Either way, I suppose as userspace starts taking over
arbitration duties it will become a more and more moot issue.

I'll try to come up with better / more clear wording (see my later
comments on the "Try to find an already-probed interface from the same
device" hunk for more detail).

I originally didn't include this condition in my checks since I was
similarly wary. Leaving it out does open two small corner cases though.

1) A pen-only tablet connected to the same hub as a touch-only tablet.
Touch-only Wacom tablets aren't particularly common and it would
be a little strange to have one paired with a pen-only tablet, but it
could conceivably happen. Although pairing the devices shouldn't
normally be an issue since a user isn't likely to use both
simultaneously, it might cause problems for multi-seat setups.

2) A pen-only tablet connected to the same hub as a pen-and-touch tablet
which has the *touch* interface probed first. As far as I'm aware, there
aren't any Wacom devices that have the USB interfaces ordered
touch-then-pen, but as you point out, who knows what those tricksy
firmware engineers will do in the future to ruin your day.

I'm open to leaving the check in or out depending on your feelings. If
you've got thoughts on how to close these corner cases as well, I'm all
ears :)

That case should be covered since we're comparing the actual values of
each device's "direct" flag for equality (direct/indirect and
indirect/direct will return false).

If its not immediately clear though, I could decompose it into
independent checks for each case. E.g.:

  if ((features->device_type & WACOM_DEVICETYPE_DIRECT) &&
      !(sibling_features->device_type & WACOM_DEVICETYPE_DIRECT))
          return false;

  if (!(features->device_type & WACOM_DEVICETYPE_DIRECT) &&
       (sibling_features->device_type & WACOM_DEVICETYPE_DIRECT))
          return false;

Reasonable enough.

There's a subtle issue with not performing this search before proceeding
to trying to pair arbitrary devices in wacom_are_sibling. Imagine that
you've already got a pen-only device connected to your system. Now,
connect a (non-split) pen+touch device to the same hub. When the touch
interface is probed, the first device checked its checked against in
wacom_are_sibling is that pen-only device, and provided it passes all
the checks then it will be incorrectly paired with it.

This is actually probably a leftover from before I added the requirement
that only direct devices can have different PIDs and might not be
strictly necessary in the patch's current state, but I'd feel better
keeping it in either way.

Good call, if the block remains necessary.
