[PATCH] HID: appleir: force input to be set

From: Benjamin Tissoires
Date: Thu Nov 07 2013 - 10:46:48 EST


Some weird remotes are not correctly creating the input device. Their
report descriptor starts with:
0x06, 0x00, 0xff, // Usage Page (Vendor Defined Page 1) 0
0xa1, 0x01, // Collection (Application) 3

whereas others (which are correctly handled) start with:
0x05, 0x0c, // Usage Page (Consumer Devices) 0
0x09, 0x01, // Usage (Consumer Control) 2
0xa1, 0x01, // Collection (Application) 4

The rest of the report descriptor is the same.

Adding the quirk HID_QUIRK_HIDINPUT_FORCE forces hid-input to allocate
the inputs, and everything should be ok.
