I don't think the last sentence above is adding anything. I don't see
where the mutex and timers are related to this patch.

The 2 changes "s/mtclass->quirks/td->mtclass.quirks/" should probably
be added as a separate patch (before this one). The reason is that
hid_parse might change the quirks values, and
MT_QUIRK_FIX_CONST_CONTACT_ID and MT_QUIRK_FORCE_MULTI_INPUT might be
different from the class definition at the end of probe, so
definitively, this is a bug (without consequences) that should be
addressed separately.

Cheers,
