hid-multitouch currently runs GET_REPORT for Contact Max and again to
retrieve the Win8 blob. If both are within the same report, the
Resolution Multiplier code calls GET_FEATURE again and this time,
possibly due to timing, it causes the ILITEK-TP device interpret the
GET_FEATURE as an instruction to change the mode and effectively stop
the device from functioning as expected.

Notably: the device doesn't even have a Resolution Multiplier so it
shouldn't be affected by any of this at all.

Fix this by making sure we only execute GET_REPORT if there is
a Resolution Multiplier in the respective report.

Same patch as before, but this time with diff.noprefix set to false again.
Too bad that setting messes up format-patch :( Apologies for the broken
one.

Thanks for the quick respin. I was about to apply it, and then I
realized that something was off (see inlined)

I think here we said that the reading of this particular feature was
mandatory by Microsoft, but what if a device doesn't like it.
I wonder if we should not guard this against HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS
too, in the event we need to quirk a particular device.

(BTW, I prefer this version compared to the first draft you sent me :-P )

Cheers,
Benjamin

just to clarify: "I wonder if" means "please add this" here? :)

tbh I don't see how a device could function if one cannot read the report
with the RM - Windows reads and sets it unconditionally so that device would
break under Windows. Which, presumably, is motivation enough for a vendor to
fix it.

I'm not even sure there are devices where this is ever triggered now, having
two unrelated features in the same report seems a bit of a niche case.
We can easily add the check but whether it'll ever be needed is doubtful.

Cheers,
   Peter
