Correct, this switch statement() that you're removing in this patch 
already does exactly this, so replacing it with the 
if()-and-return-early block would result in equivalent code (ignoring 
the Trackpoint keyboard II). That suggestion wasn't the most helpful of 
mine, sorry!

The reason I originally used a switch here is for symmetry with 
lenovo_probe(), lenovo_remove(), etc. It might some day be useful to add 
something like:

	case USB_DEVICE_ID_LENOVO_X1_TAB:
		lenovo_reset_resume_tp10ubkbd(hdev);
		break;

...to the switch. For completeness, lenovo_reset_resume() should 
probably call a separate lenovo_reset_resume_cptkbd() that does the 
work. For just 3 lines of code it didn't seem worth it at the time 
though.
