Subject: [PATCH 4.13 134/160] HID: wacom: generic: Clear ABS_MISC when tool leaves proximity

4.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jason Gerecke <killertofu@...il.com>

commit 92380b572d95caf48f8424746aeee63c5a2b1922 upstream.

The tool ID information sent in ABS_MISC is expected to be reset to 0
when a tool leaves proximity. Not doing this can cause problems if a
tool is removed and then re-introduced. Kernel event filtering will
prevent the (identical) ABS_MISC event from being sent when the tool
re-enters proxmity. This can cause userspace to not properly set the
tool ID.
