M-XT3DRBK is the full model number for the wireless EX-G but since the
HUGE and DEFT both use their short names in the hid-ids macros then I'll
call this one EX_G_WIRELESS so that it matches the naming style of
everything else.

However, I'm a bit apprehensive about sending in a patch for a device I
can't test. Even if it's most likely going to work. Do you know of
anyone who can test this wireless EX-G variant?

I guess Jiri can chip in if he thinks this is not necessary. Technically
this patch should sit in linux-next for a while (but reportedly few
people actually run on that iirc) and the worst that could happen is
that the checks in the report fixup function don't match the expected
report and don't apply the fix, or (unlikely) some padding bits get
exposed as buttons with no function.

Either way, I've made this change locally and will be submitting v2 when
I have a bit more time later this week.
