Yes, I agree. Not only recent devices are affected, but old devices with 
new firmware are also affected. [1] shows a firmware update can cause a 
new device id. It seems that HUION just uses new device id for new 
firmware, with nothing changed.

That's sure. I have checked DIGImend's issue before submitting this patch.
There is also a pull request to provide the same functionality [2]. And 
the [2] says at least Gaomon M6 and Gaomon 1060pro worked. issue [3] and 
[4] seems to show that H580X and H1161 also works.

Nowadays I am working on my KD200, which is a typical devices of recent 
Huion tablets. This tablets has 3 usbif, so it is not fully recognized in 
the init process of the huion tablets in the kernel. This problem is also 
present in the 0x006d device (with invalid interface) [5]. I think it's OK
to delay this patch and do more test until the invalid interface problem 
is mitigated or solved.
