Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 041/273] Input: vmmouse - fix absolute device registration

4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@...il.com>

commit d4f1b06d685d11ebdaccf11c0db1cb3c78736862 upstream.

We should set device's capabilities first, and then register it,
otherwise various handlers already present in the kernel will not be
able to connect to the device.
