HID: wacom: Treat HID_DG_TOOLSERIALNUMBER as unsigned
commit 286f3f47 upstream. Because HID_DG_TOOLSERIALNUMBER doesn't first cast the value recieved from HID to an unsigned type, sign-extension rules can cause the value of wacom_wac->serial[0] to inadvertently wind up with all 32 of its highest bits set if the highest bit of "value" was set. This can cause problems for Tablet PC devices which use AES sensors and the xf86-input-wacom userspace driver. It is not uncommon for AES sensors to send a serial number of '0' while the pen is entering or leaving proximity. The xf86-input-wacom driver ignores events with a serial number of '0' since it cannot match them up to an in-use tool. To ensure the xf86-input-wacom driver does not ignore the final out-of-proximity event, the kernel does not send MSC_SERIAL events when the value of wacom_wac->serial[0] is '0'. If the highest bit of HID_DG_TOOLSERIALNUMBER is set by an in-prox pen which later leaves proximity and sends a '0' for HID_DG_TOOLSERIALNUMBER, then only the lowest 32 bits of wacom_wac->serial[0] are actually cleared, causing the kernel to send an MSC_SERIAL event. Since the 'input_event' function takes an 'int' as argument, only those lowest (now-cleared) 32 bits of wacom_wac->serial[0] are sent to userspace, causing xf86-input-wacom to ignore the event. If the event was the final out-of-prox event, then xf86-input-wacom may remain in a state where it believes the pen is in proximity and refuses to allow other devices under its control (e.g. the touchscreen) to move the cursor. It should be noted that EMR devices and devices which use both the HID_DG_TOOLSERIALNUMBER and WACOM_HID_WD_SERIALHI usages (in that order) would be immune to this issue. It appears only AES devices are affected.
