Just to be sure, could you also add in the commit message that the flag
RMI_DEVICE_HAS_PHYS_BUTTONS is not auto-detected by the driver and that
it has to be added manually when adding a device to rmi_id[].

BTW, you can use .driver_data in in struct hid_device_id to pass the
flags directly. So here, it would be nice to add such retrieval in
probe:
data->device_flags = id->driver_data;
and then check for RMI_DEVICE.

I think here you will get a reset for each button press. I believe the
mouse collection is pretty generic and you should also get the relX|Y
events with the button press.
