Re: [PATCH] HID: input: fix the incorrectly reported BTN_TOOL_RUBBER/PEN tools

Ok, I know why no one follow-up with my patch. Life wasn't as simple
as I wished for :).

The patch missed one important fact: repeated events don't go into
userland. They are filtered! We need to initiate another input_dev to
hold all the past events for the coming tool, whether it is PEN or
RUBBER. So, it is more like a simplified multi-pen case, right? What's
your suggestions? Do we claim two tools for this particular use case?
