Right, b6cc0ba2cbf4 has been added to 4.14.75 and is not working
because tweaking hid_have_special_driver[] is not required in current
kernels anymore.
@stable folks, would it be possible to take this patch in the v4.9 and
v4.14 trees? It can't go into Linus' tree, but I'd be glad to give my
Acked-by for a stable backport.

I was talking more generally, killing this list of devices, as some
are keyboard and useful, and some are not needed as you say. But the
point is that distro folks won't have to decide which module to ship:
only hid-generic will be sufficient.
