No, this will not work. wtp_connect sets the device in the raw report
mode. If we call it after hidpp_allocate_input, this will work on the
first connect. Then, if you switch off/on the device, the connect_event
will be called, but the device will not be set in the raw mode.

We really need to unconditionally call wtp_connect at each
connect_event.

0 is fine here. Maybe I over thought the API, but the connect_event is
sent whenever the device is connected or disconnected.
This allows a subdriver to do things on connect and on disconnect. For
instance, you could delete the input node on disconnect. This is not
something we want though, so the disconnect event is just discarded.

But this disconnect event is not an error, it is just a discarded event,
so returning success is fine.

Thanks for the review!
