Subject: [14/70] HID: magicmouse: Dont report REL_{X, Y} for Magic Trackpad

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Chase Douglas <chase.douglas@...onical.com>

[ Linus' tree commit 6a66bbd693c12f71697c61207aa18bc5a12da0ab ]

With the recent switch to having the hid layer handle standard axis
initialization, the Magic Trackpad now reports relative axes. This would
be fine in the normal mode, but the driver puts the device in multitouch
mode where no relative events are generated. Also, userspace software
depends on accurate axis information for device type detection. Thus,
ignoring the relative axes from the Magic Trackpad is best.
