To recap: My new G4 powerbook has a bluetooth device that boots up in
what apppears to be a compatability mode - it looks exactly like an HID
keyboard/mouse device.

A special command sequence is sent to switch it into full bluetooth
mode. When this occurs the original HID device vanishes, and a new
(bluetooth HID) USB device appears on the bus with a different product
ID.

The original thread is here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12532263

The attached patch adds the device to the hid-core quirks so that
hid-core ignores it.

below you will find one patch to hid-core.c, which lets usbhid ignore
our HID devices. It would be nice, if you can apply it.

Currently hid-core follows the same code path for input reports
regardless of whether they are a result of interrupt transfers or
control transfers. That leads to interrupt events erroneously being
reported to hiddev for regular control transfers.

Prior to 2.6.12 the problem was mitigated by the fact that
reporting to hiddev is supressed if the field value has not changed,
which is often the case. Said filtering was removed in 2.6.12-rc1 which
means any input reports fetched via control transfers result in hiddev
interrupt events. This behavior can quickly lead to a feedback loop
where a userspace app, in response to interrupt events, issues control
transfers which in turn create more interrupt events.

This patch prevents input reports that arrive via control transfers from
being reported to hiddev as interrupt events.

Drivers need to return -ENODEV when they can't bind to a device.
Anything else stops the "bind a device to a driver" search.

They aren't really HID devices.

This patch adds the DeLorme Earthmate lt-20 productid to the hid
blacklist table.  This patch ensures the lt-20 can be claimed by the
appropriate driver (cypress_m8).

===================================================================

This is the first of a few installments of PM API updates to match the
recent switch to "pm_message_t".  This installment primarily affects
USB device drivers (for USB interfaces), and it changes the handful of
drivers which currently implement suspend methods:

    - <linux/usb.h> and usbcore, signature change

    - Some drivers only changed the signature, net effect this just
      shuts up "sparse -Wbitwise":
	* hid-core
	* stir4200

    - Two network drivers did that, and also grew slightly more
      featureful suspend code ... they now properly shut down
      their activities.  (As should stir4200...)
	* pegasus
	* usbnet

Note that the Wake-On-Lan (WOL) support in pegasus doesn't yet work; looks
to me like it's missing a request to turn it on, vs just configuring it.
The ASIX code in usbnet also has WOL hooks that are ready to use; untested.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
