Hi Jamie,

some few ideas in case there will be a v3, most of them are really just
nitpicks.

Remove the - after the : and use the - as the bullet.
The asterisk is used for the comment already.

Maybe add a blank line before hid_set_drvdata().

JFTR this logic, already in the original code, relies on the fact that
the input_mapping callback is invoked before tpkbd_probe_tp():

	hid_hw_start()
		hid_connect()
			hidinput_connect()
				hidinput_configure_usage()
					device->driver->input_mapping()
	tpkbd_probe_tp()

which was not completely trivial to an occasional reader like me.

I'd avoid calling functions in conditions, especially when mixed with
other checks, but that's mostly personal taste. If you decide to call
the function in the if body you also get that the hdev->product check
will be exactly the same as in the symmetric one in tpkbd_remove().

I think this check can just become a:

	if (data_pointer == NULL)
		return;

early in tpkbd_remove_tp().

Also, I don't think you could just return in tpkbd_remove() like
you are doing as hid_hw_stop() must be always called.
