Hi Pete,

yes, so the device doesn't provide any application we handle in HID <-> 
input mapping, it contains only vendor-speicific usages from 0xffa0 page.

hiddev/hidraw device surely is created for this device (as it is not 
handled by hid-input), so a userspace driver can be written easily to 
handle this button.

So your patch makes sense, I will apply it to my tree, thanks.
