Re: [regression] 1a8953f4f774 ("HID: Add IGNORE quirk for SMARTLINKTECHNOLOGY") causes issue with ID 4c4a:4155 Jieli Technology USB Composite Device

[Staffan Melin <staffan.melin@oscillator.se>]

Thank you for the patches!

Unfortunately I could not apply v3, I got an error message.

While I could apply patch v4 and compile and test it, same result as 
before -- no working touchscreen, and touchscreen not visible on xinput 
--list. This was on 6.16.7.

Best regards,

Staffan
