Subject: [PATCH 0/7] HID: revert the Logitech High Resolution wheel support

It turns out that the implementation of the high resolution support of
Logitech wheels is rather incompatible with the mice from Microsoft.

We had a lengthy discussion off-list and the summary is quoted in 7/7.

The TL;DR, we need to revert the current series before it gets out in
a released kernel and work on a better approach for 4.21.

This patch series has informally been acked by Dmitry, Harry, Jiri, Nestor
and Peter, but I wouldn't mind a public ack before I push this to
the for-linus branch.

Dmitry, I chose to also revert "Input: Add the `REL_WHEEL_HI_RES` event code"
as the documentation needs to be updated.
I would understand if you rather keep the patch that way and we just update
the doc. This would help synchronizing the trees. So please tell me if you
want 7/7 in the series or not (I'll reshuffle the commit message to have
the summary from Peter).

Cheers,
Benjamin
