Tablets have different nodes for their pad (the tablet per se) and the
pen. That patch fixed a missing prefix in the device name. For example,
"Tablet Name" becomes "Tablet Name Pen" after the fix. So, it doesn't
affect the problem Torge is trying to fix.

Bejamin, are there any updates on the broken automated regression tests
you mentioned? Do you think it is worth adding HID_QUIRK_HIDINPUT_FORCE
in the meantime?

Best wishes,
Jose
