When connecting the Cintiq Companion 2 as an external tablet (i.e., using
it in "hybrid" mode) it has been seen to cause the kernel of the machine
it is connected to to Oops. The cause has been traced to us attempting to
switch the tablet's mode prior to actually starting HID device (resulting
in the eventual dereference of the uninitialized control URB).

This has not been an issue in the past since we've historically used
'hid_hw_raw_request' to perform the mode switch. HID_GENERIC devices,
however use 'hid_hw_request' which assumes that 'hid_hw_start' has already
been called. That we've not encountered problems beforehand seems to
be entirely due to luck.

Since the timing of the mode switch is not critical, we can simply
move it to occur after the call to 'hid_hw_start'. Alternately, we
could have potentially modified 'wacom_hid_set_device_mode' to use
'hid_hw_raw_reqest'.

Jiri,

Please mark this for stable since it possible other HID_GENERIC 
devices may trigger this Oops as well.

Thanks,
Jason

The timing of the mode switch makes a difference for Bamboo touch only
devices. Without switching mode for pen interface before it is
ignored, we will not receive touch data later.

All other devices should be fine with your moved mode switch code.
