The hid-rmi driver may handle non rmi devices on composite USB devices.
Callbacks need to make sure that the current device is a RMI device before
calling RMI specific functions. Most callbacks already have this check, but
this patch adds checks to the remaining callbacks.

This is the patch which hopefully will address the X1 tablet dock freeze:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg53582.html

I was not able to test on a composite USB device so I have not tested confirmed
this will fix the reported issues. But, based on the description I think it will.
I also added a check for rmi_raw_event() since it could be possible that another
hid device using one of the same report IDs as an RMI device could result in calling
into unitialized RMI functions. It was also the only callbacl left not checking the
RMI_DEVICE flag. I wonder if this explains the attach crash.

Anyway, I would appriciate it if Hendrik or someone else with the device could test this
patch to confirm it fixes the reported behavior.
Shouldn't rmi_hid_reset() also get the same check?
I think so as well.

Since rmi_hid_reset() is only called from with in the RMI4 driver I didn't think that it needed a check. All of the functions set in struct hid_driver should  now check the RMI_DEVICE flag before calling into the RMI4 driver. But, if I am missing something we can add additional checks.

Thanks,
Andrew

 From what I can see, even if the patch doesn't fix the immediate issue,
such a patch should definitively go in as those checks are clearly
missing.
Agreed; however I'd like to get Hendrik's Tested-by: if possible in case
this really fixes the issue, so I am not merging it right away.

Hendrik, are you by any chance able to test this patch in a reasonable
timeframe please?

Thanks!
