Subject: [PATCH] hid: Add a hid quirk for input sync override

From: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@...bit.(none)>

As of lately, HID devices which send per-frame data split over several
HID reports have started to emerge. This patch adds a quirk which
allows the HID driver to take over the input layer synchronization,
and hence the control of the frame boundary.

Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@...omail.se>

Jiri, Dmitry, Stephane,

No doubt, this is not a final solution, but it serves the purpose of
being able to make existing drivers functional while a satisfactory
solution is being worked out.

Cheers,
Henrik
