I've had a chance to try out a dozen tablets with these modifications and for the most part things seem to work fine. The 24HDT issue I mentioned above was due to a conflict with some other patches I was testing and can be ignored. Aside from the other known issues you've already mentioned (and my inline comments), there's not much that I can say (other than that I found some odd [but apparently unrelated] issues with wacom_w8001 and isdv4-serial-inputattach...)
