commit 58f65f9db7e0de366a5a115c2e2c0703858bba69 upstream.
Barnabás reported that the change to skip the getid command
when the controller is in translated mode on laptops caused
the Version field of his "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
input device to change from ab83 to abba, breaking a custom
hwdb entry for this keyboard.
Use the standard ab83 id for keyboards when getid is skipped
(rather then that getid fails) to avoid reporting a different
Version to userspace then before skipping the getid.
Fixes: 936e4d49ecbc ("Input: atkbd - skip ATKBD_CMD_GETID in translated mode")
Reported-by: Barnabás Pőcze <pobrn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
