Hmm, so Peter Hutterer (the libinput maintainer) is probably the right
person to inquire about this. Either contact the libinput mailing list
about this, or maybe file a github issue against systemd and add
'@whot' as CC to it, so that Peter is in the loop. It's after all a
"bug" in the hwdb that we currently don't cover this correctly, by
some loose definition of "bug"...
