    This bug reports mentions 6d4f5440 ("HID: multitouch: Fetch feature
    reports on demand for Win8 devices") as the origin of the problem but this
    commit actually masked 2 firmware bugs that are annihilating each other:
    
    The report descriptor declares two features in reports 3 and 5:
    
    0x05, 0x0d,                    // Usage Page (Digitizers)             318
    0x09, 0x0e,                    // Usage (Device Configuration)        320
    0xa1, 0x01,                    // Collection (Application)            322
    0x85, 0x03,                    //  Report ID (3)                      324
    0x09, 0x22,                    //  Usage (Finger)                     326
    0xa1, 0x00,                    //  Collection (Physical)              328
    0x09, 0x52,                    //   Usage (Inputmode)                 330
    0x15, 0x00,                    //   Logical Minimum (0)               332
    0x25, 0x0a,                    //   Logical Maximum (10)              334
    0x75, 0x08,                    //   Report Size (8)                   336
    0x95, 0x02,                    //   Report Count (2)                  338
    0xb1, 0x02,                    //   Feature (Data,Var,Abs)            340
    0xc0,                          //  End Collection                     342
    0x09, 0x22,                    //  Usage (Finger)                     343
    0xa1, 0x00,                    //  Collection (Physical)              345
    0x85, 0x05,                    //   Report ID (5)                     347
    0x09, 0x57,                    //   Usage (Surface Switch)            349
    0x09, 0x58,                    //   Usage (Button Switch)             351
    0x15, 0x00,                    //   Logical Minimum (0)               353
    0x75, 0x01,                    //   Report Size (1)                   355
    0x95, 0x02,                    //   Report Count (2)                  357
    0x25, 0x03,                    //   Logical Maximum (3)               359
    0xb1, 0x02,                    //   Feature (Data,Var,Abs)            361
    0x95, 0x0e,                    //   Report Count (14)                 363
    0xb1, 0x03,                    //   Feature (Cnst,Var,Abs)            365
    0xc0,                          //  End Collection                     367
    
    The report ID 3 presents 2 input mode features, while only the first one
    is handled by the device. Given that we did not checked if one was
    previously assigned, we were dealing with the ignored featured and we
    should never have been able to switch this panel into the multitouch mode.
    
    However, the firmware presents an other bugs which allowed 6d4f5440
    to counteract the faulty report descriptor. When we request the values
    of the feature 5, the firmware answers "03 03 00". The fields are correct
    but the report id is wrong. Before 6d4f5440, we retrieved all the features
    and injected them in the system. So when we called report 5, we injected
    in the system the report 3 with the values "03 00".
    Setting the second input mode to 03 in this report changed it to "03 03"
    and the touchpad switched to the mt mode. We could have set anything
    in the second field because the actual value (the first 03 in this report)
    was given by the query of report ID 5.
    
    To sum up: 2 bugs in the firmware were hiding that we were accessing the
    wrong feature.
