We've discussed with Tomasz off-list, and it looks like that there likely 
is a better and more general way to fix it; this seems to have actually 
been caused by 6da7066906e977d4 ("HID: ignore absolute values which don't 
fit between logical min and max"), as it turns out that this check should 
be applied only in case Null state is set (refer to HID specification 
1.11, section 6.2.2.5, p.31), bko#68621.

Tomasz comitted to look into this after coming back from christmas/new 
year vacation. I'm putting the innomedia branch on hold for now.
