Subject: [PATCH] HID: elo: clear BTN_LEFT mapping

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@...e.cz>

ELO devices have one Button usage in GenDesk field, which makes hid-input 
map it to BTN_LEFT; that confuses userspace, which then considers the 
device to be a mouse/touchpad instead of touchscreen.

Fix that by unmapping BTN_LEFT and keeping only BTN_TOUCH in place.
