Thanks Jiri, and thanks Dmitry for the reminder.

Jiri, BTW, I have 2 patch locally that should mitigate the negative
impact from this patch if there is any,

While trying to merging hid-multitouch into hid-core, I came to
realize that hid-generic should probably split the HID collections by
applications. If a device has a joystick and a mouse collection, there
is no point merging these two collections together. This is the most
common use case for reusing the same ABS_X value in one device.

I'll try to post the patches today, though I have some internal deadline :(

Cheers,
Benjamin
