Subject: [PATCH] HID: multitouch: force retrieving of Win8 signature blob

The Synaptics 0x11e5 over I2C found in the Asus T100-CHI requires to
fetch the signature blob to actually start sending events.

With this patch, we should be close enough to the Windows driver which
checks the content of the blob at plugin to validate or not the
touchscreen.

Fixes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113481
regression introduced by 6d4f5440 ("HID: multitouch: Fetch feature
reports on demand for Win8 devices") which has been backported to stable.

Hi Jiri,

Let's hope this will be the final patch for Win8 touch devices. I do not
think we need much more tests from broader devices as this is really what
we use to do before 6d4f5440, and this is also what the Windows driver does.

Crossing fingers.

Cheers,
Benjamin
