commit 93020953d0fa7035fd036ad87a47ae2b7aa4ae33 upstream.

Many HID drivers assume that the HID device assigned to them is a USB
device as that was the only way HID devices used to be able to be
created in Linux.  However, with the additional ways that HID devices
can be created for many different bus types, that is no longer true, so
properly check that we have a USB device associated with the HID device
before allowing a driver that makes this assumption to claim it.

commit 720ac467204a70308bd687927ed475afb904e11b upstream.

The wacom driver accepts devices of more than just USB types, but some
code paths can cause problems if the device being controlled is not a
USB device due to a lack of checking.  Add the needed checks to ensure
that the USB device accesses are only happening on a "real" USB device,
and not one on some other bus.

commit 918aa1ef104d286d16b9e7ef139a463ac7a296f0 upstream.

When emulating the device through uhid, there is a chance we don't have
output reports and so report_field is null.

commit f237d9028f844a86955fc9da59d7ac4a5c55d7d5 upstream.

Some HID drivers are only for USB drivers, yet did not depend on
CONFIG_USB_HID.  This was hidden by the fact that the USB functions were
stubbed out in the past, but now that drivers are checking for USB
devices properly, build errors can occur with some random
configurations.

commit f83baa0cb6cfc92ebaf7f9d3a99d7e34f2e77a8a upstream.

A number of HID drivers already call hid_is_using_ll_driver() but only
for the detection of if this is a USB device or not.  Make this more
obvious by creating hid_is_usb() and calling the function that way.

Also converts the existing hid_is_using_ll_driver() functions to use the
new call.

commit 9003fbe0f3674b972f56fa7e6bf3ac9dbfc4d0ec upstream.

Add a HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS quirk for the
Microsoft Surface 3 (non pro) type-cover.

Trying to init the reports seems to confuse the type-cover and
causes 2 issues:

1. Despite hid-multitouch sending the command to switch the
touchpad to multitouch mode, it keeps sending events on the
mouse emulation interface.

2. The touchpad completely stops sending events after a reboot.

Adding the HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS quirk fixes both issues.

2. The touchpad completely stops sending events after a reboot.

Adding the HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS quirk fixes both issues.

commit 7fb0413baa7f8a04caef0c504df9af7e0623d296 upstream.

The HID descriptor of many of Wacom's touch input devices include a
"Confidence" usage that signals if a particular touch collection contains
useful data. The driver does not look at this flag, however, which causes
even invalid contacts to be reported to userspace. A lucky combination of
kernel event filtering and device behavior (specifically: contact ID 0 ==
invalid, contact ID &gt;0 == valid; and order all data so that all valid
contacts are reported before any invalid contacts) spare most devices from
any visibly-bad behavior.

The DTH-2452 is one example of an unlucky device that misbehaves. It uses
ID 0 for both the first valid contact and all invalid contacts. Because
we report both the valid and invalid contacts, the kernel reports that
contact 0 first goes down (valid) and then goes up (invalid) in every
report. This causes ~100 clicks per second simply by touching the screen.

This patch inroduces new `confidence` flag in our `hid_data` structure.
The value is initially set to `true` at the start of a report and can be
set to `false` if an invalid touch usage is seen.
